Gelatin Free Italian Herb Blend
This fragrant spice blend brings the warmth of a Mediterranean kitchen straight to your pantry with just a handful of dried herbs and a few minutes of hands-on time. Oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, and marjoram come together in a ratio that's bold enough to season a roast but balanced enough to sprinkle over pizza dough or stir into a vinaigrette. The small but important step of crumbling the rosemary by hand before mixing means every pinch you scoop will have an even, consistent flavor — no woody surprises in your sauce. Optional sage adds an earthy depth, while a touch of red pepper flakes can bring just enough heat to keep things interesting. Store-bought seasoning blends can be surprisingly tricky to vet, since fillers, anti-caking agents, and other additives sometimes sneak into the mix — making a homemade version the cleanest, most straightforward option. Stored in an airtight jar away from heat and light, this blend stays fresh and aromatic for up to six months, so one quick batch keeps your cooking covered for a long time.
