Herbs de Provence in Provencal Cuisine
Fri, Dec 14th 2007, 00:00
By contrast to the rich dishes in the other regions of France, the cuisine of Provence is light and fresh.
In Provence, dishes make use of the region’s abundant fresh produce, seasoned with fragrant herbs like thyme, savoury, marjoram, sage, rosemary and fennel.
Together these herbs make up the famous “herbs de provence” mixture popular for rubbing over meat before grilling or baking.
Olive oil, introduced by the Greeks over 2500 years ago, is used in most cooking. Olives flourish in many different parts of Provence and olive tapenade is a popular snack, a spread made with olives, capers, lemon juice, olive oil and herbs.
