Showstopper Herb Blend
At our organic farm in Arlington, VA, serving the DC Metro Area, we’re excited to offer our Showstopper Herb Blend—a thoughtfully curated mix of thyme, tarragon, and chervil. This blend combines earthy, sweet, and slightly anise-like flavors that will add great flavor and freshness to many dishes.
What is the Showstopper Herb Blend?
The Showstopper Herb Blend is a carefully balanced mix of three culinary herbs–herbs that we’ve chosen to combine together as they create a harmonious flavor profile. The blend is earthy, sweet, and fresh.
Each herb brings something special to the blend:
Thyme: Recognizable by its tiny, green-gray leaves and woody stems, thyme delivers an earthy, slightly minty flavor with subtle floral notes. Native to the Mediterranean, it’s an herb that works well in roasted dishes.
Tarragon: With slender, glossy green leaves, tarragon adds a sweet, slightly licorice-like flavor. A cornerstone of French cuisine, tarragon is a wonderful addition to sauces, dressings, and herb butters.
Chervil: Sometimes called "French parsley," chervil features delicate, feathery leaves and a mild, anise-like flavor. It’s ideal for finishing soups, salads, and egg dishes.
Each herb in this blend enhances the others, ensuring no single note dominates. The result is a versatile blend that adds complexity to your food without overwhelming the palate.
How to Prepare the Showstopper Herb Blend
The Showstopper Herb Blend is a true resource in the kitchen as it elevates everyday meals with minimal effort:
Soups: Stir in the blend during the final minutes of cooking for a burst of fresh, aromatic flavor.
Roasted Vegetables: Toss with olive oil and root vegetables before roasting to infuse them with the flavors of these herbs.
Finishing Touch: Sprinkle over pasta, eggs, or grains just before serving for a fresh garnish.
