Ingredients
- 3 sprigs Fresh parsley
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary
- 1 Leek leaf (optional; or substitute muslin cloth)
- 1 piece Kitchen twine
Directions
Step 1
Gather all the herbs: fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, and the bay leaf.
Step 2
If using a leek leaf, rinse it thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat it dry. Otherwise, prepare a small piece of muslin cloth or cheesecloth.
Step 3
Lay the leek leaf (or muslin cloth) flat on your counter. Place the parsley, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf in the center.
Step 4
Fold the leek leaf (or wrap the muslin cloth) around the herbs to form a small bundle.
Step 5
Use a piece of kitchen twine to tie the bundle securely, ensuring the herbs are tightly packed so they don't escape during cooking.
Step 6
Your bouquet garni is now ready to use. Add it to soups, stews, broths, or sauces while they simmer. Remove the bundle before serving.
