It was a sad day when we went through all of the Herbes de Provence that I brought home from France. There was something nostalgic about using the herbs from the little burlap spice bag, marked with the seal of Provence, that I hand-selected in a little town near Nice. Fortunately, you can buy the herb mixture in the states or even make your own.
Herbes de Provence is a mixture of dried herbs from Provence, a region of southern France. It is often used when grilling fish and meats and makes a great combo with these pork chops. We like to serve the pork over a spinach salad with avocado slices, tomatoes and feta cheese. It’s also great with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted veggies.

Looks simple and easy to make, yet delicious. I would love to try. I would love it with rice or noodles.
