Herb Substitutions:
Fines herbs is a special blend of French herbs that pair wonderfully with the butter in this rice dish. If you can't find it or don't want to use it, you could substitute your favorite herb blend. Italian herbs, Mediterranean herbs, or Greek herbs would all taste wonderful, too.
