Chef Meg's Italian Herb Seasoning

Forget buying packets of seasonings. They're expensive and often full of salt. Save sodium and money by making this easy herb blend. Use it in sauces, soups, stews, on meats... anywhere you want to add Italian flavor without fat or sodium!

1 TBSP Mediterranean oregano, dried
1 TBSP basil, dried
1 TBSP sage, dried
1 tsp rosemary, dried & crushed
1 tsp  red pepper flakes

Makes about 1/4 cup.

Combine spices in a mixing bowl. Store in an airtight container away from direct sunlight for up to six months. Before using, crush herbs between your fingers to release more flavor.

You’ll need two ruby red grapefruits. Squeeze all the juice out of them, which should give you two cups.



You’ll also need honey, whole allspice, and cinnamon sticks. Combine the juice and other ingredients with 1/2 cup of water and boil in a pot over high heat. Strain the mixture and serve with a cinnamon stick!
