POLOKWANE – No kitchen should be without the heady, aromatic flavour of thyme.
Thyme is a versatile herb and its intensely pungent flavour complements most meats, including chicken and game. Thyme is best when fresh but you can buy it freeze-dried as well.
This Chicken and Thyme Pie is the perfect Sunday night meal to share with loved ones.
