Serving suggestions

As part of a main course, serve with roast potatoes or mash, vegetables and onion gravy. Alternatively serve hot or cold as a snack or tapa with salad and/or a salsa

Variations

Use oregano or marjoram instead of the thyme

Chef's notes

Season with salt by all means, BUT if a) you are not starting the cooking process straight away or b) cooking for a long period or c) using the cook-chill method, it would be better to salt just before searing. Contact between meat and salt for a longer length of time may cause the meat to be dry.
