Ingredients
Let’s learn about the ingredients.
● Thyme:
Thyme is a herb that is commonly used by combining with other herbs. Thyme is used to flavor any dish on its own or as part of a mix or bouquet, along with other common herbs such as rosemary, sage, and marjoram. Thyme is suitable for any diet and is very rarely considered an allergen. Can be consumed by anyone who wants to cook with fresh herbs.
Thyme is commonly used in salty dishes such as steamed or grilled meats, vegetables or fish, and salted roasts. It can also be used to add flavor and depth to marinades, soups and broths, cocktail and tea items. Thyme can be stored by wrapping loosely in a damp paper towel in the refrigerator for almost 2 weeks.
Thyme contains chemicals that help treat bacterial and fungal infections.
● Garlic cloves:
Garlic is used in dishes for flavor and can be used both cooked and raw. It contains sulfur which provides many benefits. Garlic is a great source of vitamins like vitamin C and vitamin B6. It is low in calories. It also has traces of manganese, selenium, and fiber.
In this recipe, crushed or pressed garlic cloves are used.
– Substitution:
1 clove = 1 teaspoon chopped garlic = 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic = 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder = 1/2 teaspoon garlic flakes = 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic = 1/2 teaspoon garlic juice
● Pepper
Black pepper is widely used in cooking around the world. It is often called “King of Spices”. Black pepper and its active ingredient, piperine, can have strong antioxidant activity, increase the absorption of certain nutrients and beneficial compounds.
The amount of black pepper commonly used in cooking and additives up to 20 mg piperine appears to be safe. However, black pepper can increase drug absorption and should be used with caution when combined with some medications. Black pepper is a flexible ingredient that can be added to a variety of recipes, including meat, fish, eggs, salads, and soups. Available at most grocery stores.
● Egg:
Eggs are a universal food and many people like them fried, boiled, scrambled, or baked. They are easy to incorporate into food. Eggs may be the most important ingredient in your fridge! They’re nutritious, they taste great, and their physical properties and components make them indispensable in the kitchen. Eggs are used to cover food with crumbs, flour, etc. as eggs help to adhere to these ingredients and give a brown appearance when cooked. Eggs have a sticky nature that allows them to glue two pieces of dough or noodles or to provide a sticky surface for sprinkling seeds.
● Olive oil:
Olive oil is a natural oil that is obtained from olives. As per USDA, a spoon of olive oil has 119 calories, 13.5g fat, 2.9mg Vitamin E, and 8.13mcg Vitamin K.
Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. These fatty acids are believed to have many beneficial effects and are a good choice for cooking. Extra virgin olive oil has a great number of antioxidants that are good biologically. Olive oil contains nutrients that help fight inflammation. These include oleic acid and oleocanthal antioxidants.
– Can Regular olive oil and Extra virgin olive be substituted for each other?
If like many recipes, the recipe uses olive oil, you can use regular or extra virgin olive oil. It’s up to you and mostly based on personal preference. Both extra virgin olive oil and regular olive oil can be used for baking and cooking. However, note a different smoke point.
Usually, I like to use the more fragrant extra virgin olive oil for dipping in bread, dressings, uncooked dishes, and for purifying to let the aroma sink in.
● Shallot
Shallots are small onion-like that have the taste of both onion and garlic. They are an excellent source of fibers, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and organosulfur compounds. Shallots can be eaten in different ways such as by roasting them, grilling them, adding them into soups and sauces, or as a topping on pizzas.
