I frequently land up using a portion of a bunch or pack of herbs, such as cilantra, parsley, dill, thyme, mint, chives, fennel or oregano. Then a week later I find the leftover herbs sadly rotting in the back of the fridge :-( and have to throw them away. Here's a really simple and cost-saving solution. All you need is an ice-tray or a few small containers. Ingredients:
Directions:
1. Finely chop the herbs on the day you buy them.
2. Using a teaspoon, spoon whatever you don't need and press it into an ice-tray, or into a small container.
3. Top up each cube or container with a bit of water.
4. Freeze!
5. Then when you want herb flavour in a stew or soup or sauce just pop out a couple of herby ice cubes or container for fresh herby flavour.
