Unseen Cuisine — Recipe Friday: Thyme & Rosemary Crusted Roast — Patience, Heat & Heart

Hey family — it’s your boy Chef Riq, and welcome to Recipe Friday on Unseen Cuisine!
This week, we’re slowing things down and letting flavor build through time and patience with my Thyme & Rosemary Crusted Roast.

It’s all about the art of roasting with rhythm — listening for the quiet crackle, smelling the herbs bloom in the oven, and feeling the moment when the crust firms to perfection.
We’re using thyme instead of fennel for a more grounded, aromatic finish — paired with a rich, dairy-free herb butter that keeps every bite juicy and bright.

Whether you’re cooking for family, friends, or just feeding your soul, this recipe teaches you how to build deep flavor through awareness — not sight.
Because roasting isn’t about watching — it’s about trusting your instincts, hearing your food talk back, and cooking with heart.

Clean heat, pure herbs, and timeless flavor — this is roasting, Unseen Cuisine style.
