- Like many herbs, thyme is a member of the mint family and closely related to marjoram, oregano and basil.
- There are more than 100 varieties of thyme and the most commonly used are Mediterranean thyme and French thyme.
- This herb is warm, earthy, and peppery and pairs well with allspice, basil, clove, nutmeg, and rosemary.
- Season soups, stews, roasts, and potatoes. Add to gumbo and jambalaya.
- When substituting dry herbs for fresh, use 1/3 of the amount specified.
- Because thyme releases its flavor slowly it is best to use it early in the cooking process.
