Guest guest Posted September 25, 2001 Report Share Posted September 25, 2001 * Exported from MasterCook * Aromatics Or Bouquet Garni Recipe By : Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, Deborah Madison page 29 Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Condiments Vce:Foundations Of Flavor Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 8 long branches parsley -- long and full 4 brushy sprigs thyme -- up to 6 2 small bay leaves other herbs -- as appropriate This bundle of herbs, also know as bouquet garni, consists most commonly of parsley sprigs, a bay leaf, and a few thyme sprigs tied with string or gathered in a cheesecloth bag. (I just put them into the dish loose most of the time and fish them out before serving.) Bouquet garni is used to flavor soups, braises, stews, and many other dishes. I usually make mine rather generous, and add any other herb that's appropriate to the dish, such as a sprig of tarragon if tarragon is called for in the recipe, and so forth. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
