Bouquet garni
Bouquet garni
Used very frequently in French cuisine, a secret of French chefs, it adds flavour to a lot of recipes, and it's easy to prepare. The basic principle is to make a small bundle of herbs, bind them in green leek leaves and to tie it up, so that the whole thing can be removed and discarded easily after cooking.

  • I have often cooked mushrooms like this, and find them an excellent side-dish with a good steak.
    (I also add a few chilli flakes for just a little bit of 'zip'!)
