07 Nov Thyme

What is it? Thyme is an aromatic herb with small leaves and a delightful, savory scent. Originally, it grows around the Mediterranean, where it has been used for centuries in cooking and as a medicinal herb. Thyme has a warm, earthy flavor with a hint of lemon, making it perfect for meat, vegetables, potatoes, or in soups and stews.

Tip: add thyme at the end of the cooking process for a subtle flavor, or let it cook along for a deeper, richer taste.

Fun Food Fact: The ancient Greeks used thyme as a symbol of courage and strength. Roman soldiers even took a bath with thyme before going into battle for an extra boost of confidence!

Thyme Recipe:
Give your potatoes a herby twist! Mix 2 tbsp dried thyme with olive oil, 1 crushed garlic clove, salt, and pepper. Toss with boiled baby potatoes and roast until golden brown in the oven. Simple, yet full of flavor 😉
