A kitchen utensil that can be used to grind, crush, mince, or cut herbs into smaller bits for seasoning sauces, soups, salads, and other foods. A mortar and pestle are commonly used to grind or crush herbs, while a variety of cutters are available that use blades to do the mincing. Several types of bladed mincers are available. The single or double bladed mincing knife are both formed into a round-edged blade that rocks back and forth over the herb to thoroughly cut it into bits. This type of mincer is often referred to as a mezzuluna. Another type of mincer is the rotary mincer that contains a series of sharp wheels to slice through fresh or dried herbs. This type of mincer is also known as a rolling herb mincer or herb roller. Herb mills are also available that have a small compartment or "hopper" into which the herbs are loaded. A handle on the mincer is then turned manually and the the herbs are shredded into pieces.

| Herbes de Provence is a good addition to any dish from the Mediterranean region and is especially good mixed with olive oil to coat chicken, fish, tomatoes or chunks of potato for roasting, adding to a pizza sauce or sprinkled over game or kabobs before roasting. It's also used for seasoning salads, sauces and cheeses, as well as soups and stews. Try rubbing the blend on whole turkey or the breast before roasting. Rub beef, lamb or veal with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then press the herb blend into the meat. Sear the meat in a very hot skillet on both sides, then remove and finish roasting in a 300 degree oven until cooked to your preference. When grilling add a pinch or two of herbes de Provence to the coals when they are hot. |
