Recipe - Better-Than-Salt Herb Blend

3 Bay leaves finely
Chopped
4 tablespoon Oregano
4 tablespoon Onion powder
4 teaspoon Marjoram
4 teaspoon Basil leaves
4 teaspoon Winter savory ground
4 teaspoon Garlic powder
2 teaspoon Rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon Sage
1 teaspoon Thyme
1 teaspoon Black pepper ground
1 tablespoon Lemon zest dried

The recipe is for dried herbs. If you have your own herb garden, do try
drying your own. They will dry in seconds in a microwave, or in a longer
time
in a warm oven (about 180 degrees). Leave the oven door slilghtly ajar to
allow moisture escape.

Unless you have not time and patience that I have, buy the onion and garlic
powders. I have tried chopping my own fresh garlic and onion, but they take
too long to dry for me.

Mix and crush to a coarse powder with a mortar and pestle or a small
blender
or food processor.

The Herb Blend is delicious on slald greens, on cut or sliced up tomatoes and
cucumbers, on fish, hamburgers, meat loaves, steaks, omelets, etc. Try
mixing
the Herb Blend with a stick of butter or margarine. Let stand in
refrigerator
for a day of two for good flavor. Use Herbed butter on vegetables, breads,
meats, fish, etc.
