Herbs and Herb Blends

Herb Rice Blend. This rice blend is no boxed mix! Fresh ground parsley, basil, bouillon and thyme is a delight when added to rice or spaghetti. This blend also shines on chicken, fish, steak and as a compound butter (by adding 2 tbsp. of blend to a tub of butter, stir and refrigerate 24 hours). Great on garlic bread too. A kid favorite!

Try 3 1/2 tablespoons of this pleasing blend with 1 1/2 cups of uncooked rice, 2 1/2 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of butter and 10 pieces of spaghetti broken into pieces. Bring to a boil, then simmer 20 minutes.

This blend is also fantastic as a soup mix. Simply add 2 tbsps of this blend to 4 cups of chicken broth (low sodium please), 1 cup of diagonally chopped carrots and a pinch of crushed red chili. Let simmer for15 minutes or until carrots are tender. Next, add chicken breast and simmer until chicken Is cooked, about 15 minutes. 

Organic Egyptian Basil. Slightly sweet, aromatic. Cooking options with fresh basil are almost unlimited. Basil is often added to pizza, chicken, pasta, sandwiches, sauces, salads, eggs, and fresh fruit. It can also be added to vinegar, oil, jam, and sauces such as pesto.

When cooking, basil is often added to a dish at the last possible moment to preserve the flavor.
