Garlic, salt and/or pepper...hot sauce, paprika, or cumin? Cinnamon, red pepper flakes, onion powder? Thyme, rosemary, basil, oregano?
What is your favorite flavor?
Puertoricans have their mix... called recado and sofrito. I am just an eater. But I got a lot of respect for those who can prepare a savory meal regardless of culture.
I love sofrito. My kids like when I make PR rice
@MyLiege Si.
A lot of the food I cook is hot--Cajun, Mexican, Thai, Indian, and Korean chief among the spicy cuisines I like--so I suppose it would be a hot red chile or pepper of some sort.
I don't like them at all. oh, I do like cumin but don't see what it has to do with it.
Garlic. Unless it’s sweet, it’s got garlic in my house.
I put pepper on almost everything. I also start most of my meals with an onion, a clove or two of garlic, and a handful of sliced mushrooms. THEN I go see what else to put in there while those are sauteing. .
Garlic ... and more garlic. It doesn't do much for the social life, but my organs are in great shape (most of them) and I live a relaxed life because I have no fear of vampires. Werewolves are a minor problem, but I have a double barred door and shuttered windows for those few days around the full moon. Their scratching at the shutters is a mite of a bother, but I manage.
I also love all sorts of chiles and salsas. That could be because I lived in Mexico so long. I don't know.
I use curry probably more than others would like.
