Ingredients

2 tablespoons dry rosemary leaves

3/4 teaspoon fennel seed

1/4 cup dry oregano leaves

1/4 cup dry basil

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon dry thyme

Preparation

Whirl rosemary and fennel seeds in a blender until powdered; stir in and mix remaining ingredients; store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Makes about 3/4 cup.

Sprinkle this seasoning on oiled or buttered chicken or turkey before cooking; sprinkle on any meaty fish before grilling or broiling; add to a plain bean or vegetable soup.

It's the best combination I've found a lot cheaper than the 'store bought' kind... Chuck in Pok
