Thymus vulgaris

Thyme, an herb of many virtues, has been around for thousands of years. Nowadays it’s used for cooking and as a home remedy, for example as a cough reliever. Thyme is a somewhat modest-looking herb with small matte green leaves, a fresh fragrance, and a minty aroma. If you want a stronger thyme flavour, crush the leaves to release the essential oils. Thyme can stand the heat for a long time, so you can add it to your stews and casseroles before you let them simmer. One way to use thyme is to fry it in a pan together with butter and garlic before you add the steaks. Oh, the joy of anticipation!
