Bouquet Garni
Bouquet garni is a selection of aromatic plants and spices used to flavor sauces, stocks, and other dishes. Typically tied together in a small bundle, these herbs are designed to release their flavors into the liquid without dispersing. The bouquet is removed before serving, allowing for a clean presentation and rich taste.
