“I didn’t even have to use ketchup or mustard like I normally would,” says M. Grillo. “Just a slice of tomato, red onion and fresh lettuce on a potato roll was terrific. The hint of thyme was very good and something I would never have tried on my own.” She also included a great reminder: If you swap dried thyme for the fresh thyme that’s called for, be sure to only use one-third of the amount. Dried herbs are much stronger than fresh.
