Spice profile

The tasting note.

Fine, grey-green and quietly medicinal. Thyme is the herb that holds a slow dish together — lemon and pine on the nose, a dry savoury finish that suits chicken, root vegetables, stock and anything that cooks for an hour or more.

Add at the start of a braise; it is one of the few herbs that improves with time.

Hillside herbs, slow-dried.

Oregano, thyme and rosemary dried whole-leaf in shade keep their oils. Rubbed between the palms at the pan they smell like the hillside.
