How can you spice up your cooking skills? Simple tips for savory seasoning ideas can open up new worlds of taste and excitement in your cooking repertoire. Here are a few ideas to add to your next cooking session.
First, when cooking meat, season your cuts with coarse salts instead of standard table salt. Using about 1/8 teaspoon of the coarsely ground salt crystals will go a long way in flavoring your dish.
Another simple but revolutionary seasoning tip is to consider adding a few drops of lemon juice to soups, stews, and sauces. The acid in the juice helps to brighten other competing flavors in the recipe.
Lastly, know the best timing to add your fresh herbs. Hardy herbs, such as rosemary, oregano, and thyme, should be added to the recipe at the beginning so that their slowly-releasing flavors can have time to contribute to the dish. More delicate herbs should be added at the end so that they are not destroyed from prolonged cooking.
These three tips will help any dish to be a delicious representation of your cooking capabilities.
