What it is

The combination offers a savory and aromatic profile that complements a wide range of dishes. It is a convenient way to introduce these classic flavors without needing fresh ingredients.
How people cook with it
This versatile mix is perfect for everyday cooking. It can be used to enhance both simple and complex meals.
- Seasoning roasted vegetables
- Flavoring marinades
- Adding depth to sauces
- Sprinkling on grilled meats
To use, simply sprinkle the mix directly onto your food during cooking or just before serving. It can be added to dishes like pasta sauces, stews, or soups to boost their flavor. For meats and poultry, it can be rubbed into the surface before cooking or mixed with oil to create a flavorful marinade. It also works well when added to bread dough or sprinkled over pizzas before baking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh garlic and herbs, this dried mix offers a more concentrated and consistent flavor. It also has a longer shelf life and is easier to store. The dried form releases its flavor more slowly during cooking, allowing it to meld with other ingredients.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy way to add garlic and herb flavors to their meals.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store the remaining mix in a cool, dry place in its original packaging. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to preserve the aroma and prevent moisture from affecting the dried ingredients. This will help maintain its flavor for future use.
