Usage

A seasoning for rich dishes in Polish and Mediterranean cuisine: stews, roast pork, hearty soups (bean, pea), meat marinades, homemade cold cuts and pâtés, vegetable dishes with pulses. A classic of Italian cuisine – an addition to focaccia and pasta. Works well for barbecuing – sprinkled over hot coals.

How to use

Dried thyme has a stronger aroma than fresh thyme – use it in smaller quantities (typically 1/2 teaspoon per 4 servings). Add it whilst stewing stews and soups – it withstands long cooking times well. For marinades: rub it in with salt, garlic and olive oil. Barbecue tip: sprinkle a pinch onto hot coals just before placing the meat on the grill. It pairs well with marjoram, rosemary, garlic and pepper.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in a dry, dark place, protected from light, moisture and foreign odours.
