Quick Tips

Cooking with Thyme

• The addition of freshly chopped thyme adds an earthy, floral flavor to casseroles, entrees, salad dressings, sauces and soups. To prepare for chopping, hold the root end of a sprig of thyme with both sets of your index finger and thumb. Hold the end tightly with one set, while using the other to quickly scale down the thick stem, removing all of the leaves. Discard the stem and use a sharp knife to chop the leaves.
