Ingredients

Minced Ingredients:

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Minced Fresh Rosemary
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Fresh Sage
  • 1.5 Tablespoon Minced Fresh Thyme
  • 1.5 Tablespoon Minced Fresh Basil

Instructions

  1. Mince all herbs and mix together in a bowl. Mince or press 2 cloves of garlic and add to the bowl with the herbs. Pour enough olive oil to thoroughly coat and gently stir to incorporate all ingredients. Drop approximately 1 Tablespoon into each ice cube tray compartment. Press herbs down to compact contents and add a little additional olive oil if needed to cover herbs.

  2. Cover ice cube tray securely to keep aromas from flavoring other items in the freezer and place tray in freezer until completely frozen. When thoroughly frozen remove from ice trays by gently prying with a small spoon if necessary and quickly place Flavored Herb Bombs in a labeled freezer container for future use.

Recipe Notes

To use, place a herb bomb in a small container on the counter top until thawed and then stir into food to flavor.

For flavoring rice, drop herb-bomb in pan and use the oil it contains to sauté brown rice for about 3-4 minutes, then cook & serve rice as usual.

For flavoring simmering soups or broth, drop frozen herb-bomb directly into simmering recipes to flavor as the soup cooks.
