Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 sprigs Fresh parsley
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary
- 1 Leek leaf (optional; or substitute muslin cloth)
- 1 piece Kitchen twine
Instructions
Gather all the herbs: fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, and the bay leaf.
If using a leek leaf, rinse it thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat it dry. Otherwise, prepare a small piece of muslin cloth or cheesecloth.
Lay the leek leaf (or muslin cloth) flat on your counter. Place the parsley, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf in the center.
Fold the leek leaf (or wrap the muslin cloth) around the herbs to form a small bundle.
Use a piece of kitchen twine to tie the bundle securely, ensuring the herbs are tightly packed so they don't escape during cooking.
Your bouquet garni is now ready to use. Add it to soups, stews, broths, or sauces while they simmer. Remove the bundle before serving.
