Italian Mixed Herbs (250g)

A delicious Mediterranean blend of garlic, tomatoes, red bell peppers and some of our favourite Italian herbs; basil, oregano and marjoram.

In the Kitchen:

Italian Mixed herbs are great for using in cooking be it flavouring a homemade Bolognese sauce, topping a pizza, making garlic bread, an omelette, or bringing that beautiful Mediterranean flavour to soups or salads. One of our personal favourite is rubbing chopped vegetables in a little olive oil and then sprinkling with the herbs for roasting.
