Majčina dušica/Thyme

Majčina dušica,hmmm....Kad nam je naša domaćica Laka kuharica,zadala ovu temu u okviru igre Ajme koliko nas je!,iskreno nisam znala šta ću.Majčina dušica nije začin koji često koristim u kuhinji.Povremeno u nekoj marinadi i to je to.Nije da je ne volim,nego nisam je dovoljno proučila i nisam baš znala uz šta se slaže.Tako sam sebi zadala domaći zadatak,tražila,googlovala,istraživala i otkrila da se majčina dušica slaže maltene uz sve.I eksperimenti su krenuli.Prvo sam krenula sa čorbicom koju često spremam i koju svi volimo.Majčina dušica je obogatila još više.Onda sam nastavila sa testom,klasično testo koje se sprema s jogurtom.I za dezert sam probala dve kombinacije.Prva su bile kruške u vinu,a za moje devojčice sam pravila klasične mafine sa limunom i majčinom dušicom.Ne znam ko je više uživao,mi ili one.Jedino što žalim je što nisam mogla da nađem svežu biljčicu,nego sam koristila sušenu.Ako koristite svežu,povećajte količinu.
