This recipe is great. The earthiness of the thyme combined with the balsamic vinegar gave wonderful flavor. The only reason I'm giving this four stars instead of five is that I did add twice the liquid to give it the right flavor/coverage. But, overall, very good. Easy to make. It's part of our rotation!
