Bouquet garni is a basic aromatic preparation called for over and over again in French cooking, including stocks, soups, and slow-cooking dishes. It is made of fresh herbs and vegetables, tied into a bundle using kitchen mesh and/or thread.

    1 sprig of thyme

    3-4 parsley stems

    1 bay leaf

    2-3 leek leaves and/or

    1 celery stalk cut crosswise in half

    Thoroughly rinse ingredients to remove any dirt.

    Enclose the herbs in the leek leaves or celery.

    Cut a piece of string long enough to tie the bouquet securely and leave a tail long enough to tie to the pot handle.  This will make for a quick retreival when it is time to remove it.
