Food Thread: It's Thyme to Talk Food!

freshthyme26.jpg

[from: cookbookman17]

I picked up some absolutely spectacular fresh thyme from a local market. Fresh, aromatic....just lovely. It's for the dish below the fold, but now I have a lot of a really nice herb and I do not want to waste it.

Yes, I am a cheap bastard, but it also seems like a shame to discard such wonderful ingredients!

Any suggestions? Thyme Stroganoff? Thyme Soup? Sous Vide Thyme with Maple Syrup?

******

Well, well, well! Reverse (sort of) Sear works great on chicken!

I ordered a fancy chicken from an excellent place in NY called Hudson Valley Farms, which is justifiably famous for its high quality foie gras (fattened duck liver). They have branched out to chicken, so I figured it might be better than my local poultry farm.

But why make a simple roast chicken if I can think of a way to make it more complicated! So I tried a technique that works very well on beef and pork. Reverse Sear is easy with relatively thin cuts of meat, but becomes more of a timing and temperature issue with larger cuts. And a whole chicken is definitely a larger cut!

My first step was to salt it liberally and put it in the refrigerator for several hours.The plan was to let it air dry a bit, and that seemed to work, although I did dry it off before putting it in the oven. Then I stuffed it with a bit of lemon, onion, and a handful of thyme before trussing it I put it on a rack at 275 degrees for a very long time...more than two hours! Then I took it out while the oven heated to 475 degrees, although in retrospect I could have gone even hotter.

ReverseChick26.jpg

I cooked those vegetables in the cast-iron pan while the chicken was in the oven for the low-temperature cook. I figured they would get mushy if I cooked them for so long, even at a low temperature.

Just before I put the chicken in the hot oven I poured a mixture of melted butter an a bit of olive oil over the skin, because fancier cooks than I have used that technique to crisp the skin even more.

That was after about 15 minutes, and for a first attempt? I am very, very pleased. The chicken was perfectly cooked and delicious!

Lurker "LF" sent these photos along to destroy my garlic confidence just in case it wasn't in the toilet already. You might remember him for the photos of garlic shoots he sent along.

The great garlic experiment of 2025-2026 was a resounding...meh. Send all of your excellent home-grown garlic to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com.

About the Bourbon Bubble...I think it has burst, but the category is also suffering from the inflation that affected everything else (Thanks Biden!). I think the sweet spot is still $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle.

The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!

10 If you have a ton of thyme, I'd oven dry at least half b/c you won't use it before it goes bad. And I'd do that now, and keep fresh just what you think you might use in the next week...

As for use - roasted mushrooms would be nice with thyme...or anything mushroom related...

50 The weekend weather here has been a bit chilly, so I'm going with a decidedly fall theme for dinner. A pre-Thanksgiving warm-up consisting of roasted chicken, sweet potatoes (yes, with melted marshmallows), green bean casserole (yes, that concoction that inspires both fond memories and utter revulsion) and honey-mustard Brussels sprouts (yet another love/hate dish). I'm assuming the mashed potatoes will be widely accepted.

And I might even make a Manhattan to consume while I'm cooking. Stirred, of course, but with a teensy dash of maple syrup.

71 EXTRA THYME? ... Combine some with 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 Tbsp. olive oil, and marinate salmon filets in this for 20-60 minutes ... Remove salmon to a baking dish and create a glaze from the strained juice, 1 Tbsp. brown sugar, 1 tsp. paprika, and 1/2 tsp. salt (simmer to thicken) ... Brush glaze on the salmon and bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filets ... Glaze can probably be made in a larger batch, then frozen in "portioner" (like in an ice cube tray) to always have on hand ... What I've done for years, however, is make a dry glaze by combining 1 tsp. dehydrated orange zest, 1 Tbsp. brown sugar, 1 tsp. paprika, and 1/2 tsp. salt, to sprinkle on our salmon before baking.

73 Tie those thyme stems together, and hang them upside down somewhere out of the way where the air can circulate until they are completely dried. I wait a few weeks. Then strip the leaves off, keep in a covered jar and use them throughout the winter. Thyme is good in a lot of beef dishes, besides being good in chicken.

How do Chinese restaurants make "sizzling rice"? The rice appears to be deep-fried brown in clumps, and is brought to your table very, very hot. Then they dump the sauce over it, and steam explosions ensue. Quite the show.

You need to specify a particular Psalm. The longest psalm in the Bible is Psalm 119, which has 176 verses, while the shortest psalm is Psalm 117, consisting of only 2 verses. This could lead to some inconsistency in your egg’s runniness.

79 My heathen mind always associates Thyme with lemon accented dishes. For some reason, I think the two compliment each other rather well. Lemon Chicken being the pinnacle of my narrow mind in kitchen.

However, I've been known to "accidentally" throw some on parmesan mashed potatoes in the name of science (aka...I wonder what that would taste like).

I've, also, thrown some on Ham and bean soup. But, it was more out of guilt because that soup is so easy to make from scratch...I kind of felt I should do something else. So, a sprinkle of Thyme.

Truth be told, I'm more of a ginger (even though they're souless), basil, and tarragon kind of guy.

81 Pete Bog,

That sounds lovely.

Costco used to sell a pre stuffed crown roast of pork that was incredible. Honestly. I got it a couple times and cooked the pork to just over medium rare and the stuffing was nice and steamy and cooked through.

I love a nice thick pork chop. Just don’t overcook it.

Only salad dressing in the house is ranch dressing, because I don't like ranch dressing. Oil and vinegar will do.

Grill that ham and cheese sandwich and if by any chance you have some fig jam, put that on the bread before you put the cheese on. Even without the jam though, grilled ham and cheese is delicious!

That will give me two 30-foot leftovers. Maybe haul them down to AJ, and set up a clothesline there. There is one post in the ground there already...

116 I finished most of my Christmas shopping today.

Have a sinus headache and therefore won't remember what I've ordered. That's what I did today in our stormy tropical storm weather. Falala.

Whatever we are eating the dude got out of the freezer because I'm not cooking tonight.

The food always looks good here in Moronland. I also want to know how to grow garlic.

The tomatoes are gangbusters now but it's not been a great year. My herb garden did come back. Going to buy a lot of ceramic urns for next year. When I wanted them (May) the boss said nope. Then yes (I always win and have patience til he comes around, rarely argue). Of course by the time he said yes I missed the season for the urns I wanted. That might have been his plan all along.

This concludes my whinefest. Going to go drink some warm V8 with garlic and hot sauce and hope for the best.

I need to get better by Tuesday and Wednesday as I have stuff to do both days for lunch and need to be social and look lovely.

I'm about as social as a honey badger currently.

Read the rumor of Talarico's mental stay in Ohio. If true someone broke HIPPA Law and is going to get fired. Altho the people of Texas deserve to know.

Got a three pound rack of beef ribs going on the grill shortly. Ribeye steaks are $17/lb hereabouts, so I'm looking for Sunday steak alternatives. These were $5/lb.

Going for a reverse sear to render the fat before going directly over the fire for maybe a minute or two. Roasted potatoes on the side, and maybe wilted bok choy, since it's on hand. The wine is a Blackstone merlot, which I have not had in very long time, but I remember being reliable..

I have a Zojirushi rice cooker that has the same settings as kindltot's and the white rice setting is the one you use for sushi rice. I haven't ever used it to make sushi rice though but it seems like it should work if you do the washing ritual.

I love the rice cooker for brown rice which I can never get right either in the oven or on the stove. It takes almost two hours but it's perfect every time. Same for the quinoa setting. I've also used it to make perfect steel cut oats (although I can't remember which setting to use).

It sounds like a luxury unitasker, but it's one of the appliances that I use almost weekly.

Actually, I bet you do make a great pizza.

I'm still at the buy a flatbread from the stor, add the toppings and throw it in the air fryer for two minutes level of pizza making.

I tried rolling out some pizza dough one time.
This did not turn out as well as I'd hoped.

I wish you lived near me. That sounds wonderful.

My dude found some Hot Honey at the grocery store for my future pepparoni pizzas. I fell in love with a pizza two weeks ago. I didn't get this one from Georgia as in the past...they should have a recipe for fried chicken with hot honey on their website. I made that once and it was good.

Added horseradish to my magic sinus cure along with V8, Louisiana hot sauce, and garlic. It will either cure me or kill me and expired in June (the horseradish from fridge). Very annoyed as I have a lot to do this week and would prefer not being in a thunder mood.

189 I'm not sure I can officially recommend this, but I often take prepped leftover herbs, coat them in olive oil and flatten them in a baggie, and toss the baggie in the freezer. Then later I can break off a chunk and add it to soup or something.

My tepid recommendation is because the herbs would probably retain better quality if I blanched them or something. Fresh is better, but having interesting herbs in the freezer is handy.

I once woke up super early, which is not good for me or anyone since I quit work. The little pod thing was puffed up and I still tried it. Ground up coffee went everywhere into the machine with hot water pouring out. I tried cleaning it and got most of it.

211 Since fall is here with rain and cold I'm making the easiest soup tomorrow. My cure for colds (and I guess whatever is going on with me). The secret is the cup of red wine that adds a sweetness not normally tasted in veg soup with lentils.

If I ever get some energy it's cooking time at the castle in fall and winter.

I saute chopped onion,garlic, carrots and whatever else I have like mushrooms. Add 1-2 cans of diced tomatoes or fresh ones (which are looking at me now on the counter). Add a cup of lentils, 3cups or so of vegetable broth, pepper, pepper flakes, herbes de Provence (I eyeball herbs). Simmer for 30min and add a cup of red wine. Taste and adjust to your taste for everything as this one is from memory.

It may sound weird but it's good. Grandchildren think it cures them.

217 Kind of stoked. I love horseradish....and the best time to harvest is right after all the leaves fall off in mid to late fall. I've got a whole plot of it just about ready. We just need a good frost.

For those unaware, fresh horseradish isn't like the store bought stuff. It's strong enough where you can feel its effects starting in your nasal cavity up over the top of your head, and then back to the base of your neck. Great for early winter colds....as well as a great Velouté sauce for a baked ham.

The Hawks look awful.

Brady is doing an OUTSTANDING job of color commentary. Really. I’m enjoying him.

245 Dash, you will be sorely missed and I will be hoping for next year.

246 @244...thanks. He asked me something about my working in the ED the other day and I forgot to ask.

I'll catch up with him someday to ask what he did.

247 Quail has an affinity for thyme. As in "changes it completely".
Roasted, not fried, mind you

249 Though it's still pretty warm here it seems like fall. So we're having sauerkraut and sausage, a good fall meal.

250 For those unaware, fresh horseradish isn't like the store bought stuff. It's strong enough where you can feel its effects starting in your nasal cavity up over the top of your head, and then back to the base of your neck. Great for early winter colds....as well as a great Velouté sauce for a baked ham.

What is your recipe? Cream or no cream?

251 Nova, I made up a honey mustard dressing for the salad, spiced it up a bit, it's great. Thanks again.
