A 2 oz bottle of premium Whole Turkish Bay Leaves, all ready for cooking or for making bay leaf tea. The aromatic leaf from the bay laurel tree (Laurus nobilis) is an essential component of the classic bouquet garni: parsley, thyme and a bay leaf. The bittersweet, spicy leaves impart their pungent flavour to a variety of dishes and ingredients, making bay a versatile store cupboard ingredient. It’s also one of the few herbs that won’t lose its flavour when dried. Bay leaf is typically used to season long-cooking dishes like soups, stews, and braises, but it can also enhance the flavor of quicker-cooking dishes like risotto, pasta sauce, or even a simple pot of rice. The key is to have at least a little liquid for the bay to infuse and heat to get the process going. The herb is used most widely in Mediterranean (Turkish, Italian and Greek) cooking, but since it was one of the earliest and most widely traded spices, bay has become an established seasoning in many cuisines around the world – most noticeably Indian, the Middle Eastern plus many European cuisines. It’s also one of the main ingredients in a classic French bouquet garni. To make bay leaf tea, boil a cup of water, add 2-3 dried bay leaves, steep for 10 minutes, let sit for a few minutes, strain and serve, adding optional sweetener. An ideal gift for all occasions.
