Turmeric Free Herbes de Provence
Making your own spice blends at home is one of those small kitchen habits that pays off in a big way, and this fragrant Provençal mix is a perfect place to start. Dried thyme, rosemary, savory, marjoram, and oregano come together with a whisper of lavender flowers to create something that smells like the south of France in a little jar. Store-bought herb blends can be a minefield for anyone avoiding certain spices, since manufacturers often pad their mixes with fillers or anti-caking agents that aren't always clearly labeled. Mixing it yourself means you know exactly what's in there — nothing more, nothing less. The optional fennel seeds add a subtle sweetness that works beautifully with roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or rubbed into a leg of lamb before it hits the oven. Stored in an airtight jar away from heat and light, this blend stays fresh and aromatic for up to six months, so one quick mix session keeps your pantry stocked for a long time.
