Thyme BBQ

An attractive small herb with white flowers and soft grey foliage that makes an excellent fragrant border plant for the herb garden.

Flavours/Food Partners

Savory, rosemary, oregano, sage and marjoram. Light meats such as poultry and seafood along with root vegetables and beans.

Health/Cooking/Medicinal

All forms of thyme have a strong flavour when raw or used in dressings and marinades. Meat dishes can be greatly improved by using a marinade of Renaissance BBQ herbs. Blend one or more of the following herbs, to taste: Greek oregano, BBQ thyme, rosemary and lemon verbena. Add to the marinade: 2 tbs olive oil, 1 tbs lemon juice, 1 clove crushed garlic. Soak meat in marinade for one hour.

Landscaping/Planting

Plant in dry, well drained spots with full sun and good air movement. It needs little water and does not respond well to low light or heavy wet soils.

Cultivation/Fertiliser

Regular applications of Seasol and PowerFeed in spring and autumn will keep the plant healthy and growing well.
