Seasonings that do their best work in a pot: bay leaf and thyme, herbes de provence and Italian herbs, Mushroom Boost for depth, smoked paprika, Cajun Creole seasoning, berbere, ras el hanout and our Tagine Stew Seasoning.
Add dried herbs and whole spices early so they have time to soften into the broth, and save salt for the end, once the liquid has reduced.
When the stockpot comes out for the season, these are the jars we reach for.
