  • 1/2 bunch fresh whole thyme tied together with twine

  4. Add whole thyme, pepper and stock and cover. Simmer covered for about 15 minutes or until tender.
  5. Heat cream to hot but not scorched.

Notes

This recipe serves six to ten people depending on how you serve it. If you are simply spreading a thin layer on a plate like in our filet mignon recipe – it will serve upwards of ten people. If you are enjoying this as a side dish – similar to how you might eat mashed potatoes – then it will be closer to six portions.
