There really isn't a substitute for salt, but since many people find no-salt diets very
bland (for a few days!), herbs will give that little bit of extra flavour you'll be looking
for. Give it a week or so, and you won't need anything but the natural flavour of food,
which is wonderful! You don't have to stick like glue to the recipes below. Basically,
just select which herbs you like, and wing it.
Bouquet Garni
Tie the herbs together securely at the stalk end with the twine or thread. Immerse in the
cooking liquid. Remove before serving.Use to flavour soups, stews, casseroles.
Fines Herbes
1 sprig fresh parsley, minced
1 sprig fresh tarragon, minced
1 sprig fresh chervil, minced
1 fresh chives, minced
Combine all ingredients. Use in vegetable soups, potatoes, butters. Add 2 recipes of
this to 1 cup of unsalted butter. Blend and use on potatoes, rice, pasta, fish, or bread.
