Cooking Tips

🍖 Lamb

Lamb pairs beautifully with bold herbs like rosemary, mint, and thyme.
Cook lamb chops to medium-rare (130°F / 54°C) for the most tender result.
Marinate tougher cuts in yogurt for 4+ hours to tenderize.

Nutrition: Rich in protein, B12, zinc, and iron. Grass-fed lamb has higher omega-3 content.

Storage: Refrigerate up to 3-5 days. Freeze for 6-9 months.

🌿 Thyme

Strip thyme leaves by running fingers down the stem against the growth direction.
Add thyme early in cooking — it releases flavor slowly and withstands heat.
Lemon thyme adds a citrusy note to chicken and fish.

Nutrition: Contains thymol with antiseptic properties. Good source of vitamin C and iron.

Storage: Wrap in a damp paper towel and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
