A utensil that is designed to hold loose quantities of herbs, spices or teas to be used for adding various flavors to liquids. Available in several different sizes and shapes, a Herb Ball typically consists of a round container with a chain or flexible handle attached. When making base stocks, soups, teas, or other types of beverages and foods with a broth, the Herb or Tea Ball can be filled with various flavorings such as spices or herbs and placed in boiling liquids to steep the contents. This process is used to make tea or to flavor sauces and base stocks. When the flavoring process is finished the ball is removed and the contents are discarded. The Herb Ball may also be referred to as a Herb ball, an infusion ball or a tea strainer.

| 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. |
