Always make time for thyme, words of wisdom from a friend. Thyme is an herb that pairs well with both sweet and savory dishes, and onions and cream are no exception. Natural sugars are found in both ingredients, when cooked the sweetness is released softening the sharpness of the onion and strengthening the sweetness of the cream. The addition of fresh thyme brings a richness to this relationship enhancing each ingredient, transforming onions and cream from acquaintances to good friends.
