A Bouquet Garni is simply a sachet of herbs that is added to a pot to flavour stews, soups, pot roasts or any other recipes with juices such as a braised meat dish. To use just add sachet to your simmering pot and remember to omit the herbs that are already in the bouquet garni from the recipe you are making. This particular recipe for one is my favourite...try it!
