One Christmas gift from my parents last year was a gift certificate to Penzeys Spices. I recently made and received my order. I bought seven items. I'm going to make a blog post for each item after I use it. Thanks Mom and Dad!
Spice Item #1: "Sunny Paris"
♣ components: shallots, chives, green peppercorns, dill weed, basil, tarragon, chervil, and bay leaf
Ante
I selected this one because I thought bJorn would 'specially like it. As it turns out, when I got the package, I arrayed the seven containers for him and asked him to vote on which to use first, and this tied for first.
I love dill, chervil, shallots, and bay leaves. I was intrigued by the green peppercorns. Tarragon, basil, and chives are hit or miss for me.
As
I tried it with zucchini noodles and eggs.
I fashioned the noodles with our newest, fabulous kitchen toy. We've used it many times since acquiring it a month ago. It makes the best veggie noodles I've ever! had (including in restaurants). Yum.
I seasoned the noodles and fried them in melted tiger. Then I took them out of the pan and pan-scrambled some eggs. Sunny Paris is green. This is the closest I've ever come to green eggs.
There was no ham.
After
Tasty! It's great with eggs and znoodles (say that—it's fun). It also goes a fairly long way: I'll get a few uses out of it. (I got the 1/4 cup jar.) Because of the delicacy of chervil, the rarity of green peppercorns, and the difficulty in drying shallots, it's easier to buy than to concoct at home. I'd buy it again!
