Mixed herbs are a versatile global blend that enhances a variety of dishes. This blend includes thyme, marjoram, oregano, sage, basil, and parsley, each contributing its own distinct flavour. Perfect for stews, soups, pasta, and tomato-based sauces, they add instant depth and richness. These herbs also complement minced meats, stuffing, and more. Originally, mixed herbs served as a convenient substitute for fresh herbs, especially during the winter months when fresh options were scarce.

Mixed herbs are ideal for flavouring homemade burger patties, meatballs, and comforting dishes like shepherd’s pie, cottage pie, bolognese, or ragu. For a unique twist, try them in the African classic, Bobotie, or mix them with butter for a savoury rub on chicken or turkey.

Each herb in this blend is selected for its complementary flavour profile. Thyme offers a savoury, earthy taste, marjoram brings a sweet, floral note, and oregano adds a mildly bitter, pungent edge. Sage and basil contribute a peppery, slightly minty flavor, while parsley brings a refreshing, tangy finish to the mix.
