Bouquet Garni

Bouquet Garni is a herbal mix of aromatic flavours that arrives in muslin bags x 3 per pack. We hand pack the muslin bags with marjoram, thyme, parsley and rosemary. The herbal blend is commonly used for French gastronomy to infuse slow cooked dishes before removing.

The name “Bouquet Garni” means “garnished bouquet” in French and refers to the traditional appearance of the herbs being tied together in a bundle. It’s thought that the herbs originated in mediaeval times, when some rather creative (or dishonest) cooks would use herbs and spices to mask the taste of spoiled meat. This versatile ingredient is a simple and easy way to add complex flavour to dishes without using a lot of different herbs and spices.

Add to traditional French dishes such as boeuf bourguignon (beef bourguignon), pot-au-feu, bouillabaisse (fish soup) and cassoulet (meat and bean stew). Try adding to soup bases for minestrone, country vegetable or cock-a-leekie.
