My First Post : Bouquet Garni

Bouquet Garni is a flavoring technique using herbs, to flavor Soups, Stews, Sauces, etc. It consists of 3 sprigs of Parsley, 1 sprig of Thyme, 1 Bay leaf (all washed and cleaned respectfully), tied together and put into the dish while cooking. I have heard of using a piece of string to tie these herbs together, but personally I like to use an extra Thyme or Parsley stem stipped of the leaves to tie all these together.
