Herbes de Provence is a dried herbal blend of rosemary, basil, sage, thyme, summer savory and lavender. It can be found at larger grocery stores or online. If you can't find it, make your own mix with a few of the designated dried herbs that you have on your pantry shelf. If you can find them, fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme or basil look great as a garnish. Feel free to use any combination of olives that appeals to you.
