Sicilian cooking is all about sun, sea and herbs that grow wild along the roadside. Bella Italia brings them together in a green mix led by oregano, with basil, rosemary and thyme.

Taste

Herby and aromatic, with no heat: oregano and rosemary set the tone, onion and garlic add savouriness, and red pepper brings a gentle sweetness. A mix that works anywhere you want a taste of the south.

How I use it

• On the grill: rub meat, chicken or fish with olive oil and a good pinch of mix.
• In pasta sauce: a spoonful in your tomato sauce while it simmers.
• In bread dough: knead in a few spoonfuls for herb bread or focaccia.
• As a dip: stir a spoonful into Greek yoghurt with a splash of olive oil.

The mix contains salt, so go easy on extra salt. Close the jar well after use.
