The strong, fresh, lemony flavor of thyme is popular in many European cuisines. The French, for example, use it liberally in soups, stews, sauces, vinegars, and in the blends of bouquet garnis and herbes de Provence. They also pair it with fish, meat, and poultry. In Jordan, it is used in a condiment called zahtar, and in Egypt, it is also used to flavor meat. In Creole cooking, it flavors blackened meat and fish, and in Central American cuisine it's often used to make jerky. You'll also find thyme in sausages and cheese.
Use thyme to enhance marinades for chicken and fish, in herb butters and cottage cheese. Add it to egg and cheese dishes (like quiche, frittatas, and omelets) to white sauces and vegetable casseroles. It's delicious in salads (like carrot salad or warm potato salad), soups, and salad dressings.
Thyme is a fairly potent seasoning, so begin with just a pinch or two, then add to taste. Be sure to add it early on in your cooking so that the flavor has time to develop and meld with other ingredients. By the way, thyme gets along well with many other spices. It's distinctive enough to hold its own, yet easy going enough to let the others have their say in a dish, too.
