Your Cooking Guide to Fun and Adventurous Home Cooking!
Dec
I love the tips from America’s Test Kitchen. I always learn something new when I watch their show or get their magazines and cookbooks.
I tried this out recently with great success. Dried herbs and spices are added earlier in the cooking process. Fresh herbs are added near the very end, minutes away from being done. Why? When fresh herbs are added too soon in the cooking process, they wilt, fall apart, and the taste virtually disappears. Dried herbs are much firmer, absorb the liquids, and can take the extended heat.
Try this out. The next time you make a tomato sauce based dish, add strips of fresh basil to the very end of the cooking process. The flavor will be full and delicious.
