Carrots with shallots, sage, and thyme - From my to-try list - Traca posted it awhile ago>>>
CARROTS WITH SHALLOTS, SAGE, AND THYME
Ingredients:
3 pounds carrots, peeled
1 cup chicken stock or reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 pound shallots, thinly sliced
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped sage
1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Preparation:
Cut carrots into 3-by 1/2-inch sticks.
Bring stock to a boil with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a 12-inch heavy skillet. Add carrots and simmer, covered, until just tender, about 15 minutes.
Remove lid and boil until most of liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer carrots to a bowl and wipe out skillet.
Cook shallots in butter with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden- brown, about 6 minutes.
Add sage, thyme, and nutmeg and cook, stirring, until very fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and return carrots to skillet, tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

I love carrots with oil, salt and thyme. I just peel and slice the carrots
and mix them with oil, salt and dried thyme that I rub between my fingers and bake them in the oven until almost done and then I broil them at a higher temperature at the very end so they turn a little brown at the edges. My gosh do they taste good when you make them this way smileys/smile.gif

Humming "Thyme is on my side"... LOL
Drying it and mixing with Kosher salt would make lovely gifts! Maybe add a bit of lemon peel as well?

REC: Country Thyme cocktail
Just received this recipe from Square One organic vodka, it sounds really pleasant and a fun use of thyme. Slap that thyme!!
REC: Country Thyme
1 1/2 oz Square One organic vodka
handful of fresh blueberries, huckleberries or blackberries
1/2 lemon, quartered
1/4 to 1/2 oz agave nectar or simple syrup
2-3 sprigs of fresh thyme
Slap thyme to release the oils. Put 2 sprigs in the bottom of a 10 oz highball glass and then top with ice. In a mixing cup muddle berries and lemon, add remaining ingredients and shake with the ice. Strain into the glass and garnish with a thyme sprig.
