With which dish does ground thyme taste good?

Ground thyme is very easy to use and matches many different dishes. Its pungent mint flavour and lemony aroma go particularly well with lamb, poultry, game, fish and shellfish. Ground thyme is ideal for meat and fish dishes that are slowly cooked in wine. It not only gives meat and fish a fresh taste, but also supports the digestion of these foods. Of course, you can also use it in the preparation of vegetarian dishes and soups.

How should you use ground thyme?

Ground thyme has a deliciously aromatic but strongly dominant flavour. It is easy to use too much, so be careful how much you add to a dish. It is best to add the powder at the very beginning of the cooking process, so that it has time to release its flavour well. In Italian dishes it forms a strong team with basil and oregano. Together with parsley and bay leaf, ground thyme does well in soups.
