Thyme is a popular herb that is native to the Mediterranean region. It is commonly used to flavour meats, particularly lamb, and also works with tomato-based dishes.
Directions
Thyme is often rubbed into lamb before roasting. Make slits into the meat and rub in thyme, together with any other herbs such as rosemary. Thyme is a delicate flavour, so add thyme to dishes early on during cooking so that it has time to release its flavour fully.
