A Spanish take on a French classic.
Farcellet is a bundle in Catalan. These bundles are a Spanish/Catalan version of a French Bouquet Garni which is a bundle of herbs tied with a string and added to soups, stews, and stocks.
These herb bundles from northern Spain are a bouquet garni with a Spanish twist: thyme, oregano and savory wrapped in a bay leaf and tied by hand. Farcellets are a versatile and easy-to-use selection of aromatic herbs for cooking. They are wonderful to have on hand in the dark winter months when fresh herbs are not as abundant. In Spain you will see farcellets pre-packaged with simple vegetables for one-stop soup supplies. They are fantastic in a pot of beans or stew. Place one or two in the cavity of a hen before roasting to flavor from the inside out.

We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Place in the cavity of a bird before roasting, cook with any dried bean or heat with the liquid when making stock. Soak and put beside the coals for aromatic barbecue or add in braising liquid when slow cooking a roast. The bundle goes perfectly in coq au vin, daube Provençal, Spanish fish stew and in a marinade for flank steak.
