Bouquet Garni
Bouquet Garni - Medium Bundle © kvalifood.com
It is a part of many recipes, but it is rarely described in depth just exactly what a “bouquet” is. Bouquet garni means “a bundle of herbs”. There may be several different kinds of herbs in it. The classical version consist only of parsley, thyme and bay leaves. The typical mistake is to make it too small with to few herbs.
Ingredients
Small bundle for 1-2 l/quarts liquid
- 1 small bunch parsley (the bundle of stems should be as thick as a middle finger.)
- 1/2 bay leaf
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried.)
Medium bundle for 2-4 l/quarts liquid
- 1 bunch parsley (the bundle of stems should be as thick as a (male) thumb.)
- 1 bay leaf
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried.)
Large bundle for 4 l/quarts liquid
- 1 large bunch parsley (for example, an entire pot if you buy them fresh.)
- 2 bay leaves
- 7 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 to 2 tsp dried.)
