What is Olive oil thyme sauce?
Olive oil thyme sauce is a simple herb-infused condiment: thyme is steeped or mixed into olive oil, ready for dipping or drizzling. It fits naturally into Mediterranean-style cooking rather than belonging to one specific regional recipe, and can be made at home with fresh or dried herbs.
The oil carries thyme’s fragrant, earthy, slightly peppery flavour. Serve it with bread, spoon it over salads or roasted vegetables, or use it to finish grilled fish and meat. It is almost entirely fat—98 g per 100 g—so a little goes a long way. For a lighter dressing, use a small drizzle and add lemon juice or vinegar.
