Better-Than-Salt Herb Blend

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 bay leaves -- finely chopped
4 tablespoons oregano
4 tablespoons onion powder
4 teaspoons marjoram
4 teaspoons basil leaves
4 teaspoons winter savory -- ground
4 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons 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 sliced 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.
