I only use them in curry powder, what other uses are there?

[Anonymous No.12149625]

My favorite ingredient is the Impossible Burger

pasta sauce, sausages, bread

You can use fennel in sausages?
I'd imagine it would suck to bite directly onto a seed when eating

[Anonymous No.12149650]

>>12149634
nah it's not an issue; fennel sausages are my favorite

[Anonymous No.12149680]

>>12149634
It’s the signature flavor in Italian sausage if I’m not mistaken

[Anonymous No.12149684]

>>12149680
I know it's used in salsiccia but the spices are ground and mixed in with the pork there

[Anonymous No.12149738]

>>12149614
They are really good in turkey, chicken, and pork meatballs and sausage. I've never tried them in beef ones. I've also used fennel in turkey chili. It goes really well with white meats.

>>12149600
I don't know if it's underrated but sage is awesome, and I don't see it used much when I look around for meal ideas.

Based tarragon.
Essential sauce herb.

[Anonymous No.12149786]

>>12149754
yeah, in burgerland it's usually saved for thanksgiving.

Sage is great, I add it when I roast a big thing of vegetables and meat, just adds a nice flavor. It’s also great as an herbal tea either by itself or with mint. Fun to grow too especially with all the variegated leaf types and the flavored ones like pineapple sage

[Anonymous No.12149798]

>>12149754
The only thing I could think off using sage was chicken saltimbocca...

[Anonymous No.12149805]

>sage tea
huh, that's a new one to me.

pic related is mine.

[Anonymous No.12149807]

I fucking love it and it works on all meats (haven't attempted on fish). Really good just for a simple roast chicken with garlic, salt, and pepper.

[Anonymous No.12149895]

>>12149614

goes great with eggs and cheese

I like putting tarragon in my crepes too.

[Anonymous No.12149921]

>>12149629
that's what caraway seeds are for

[Anonymous No.12149952]

I've had Tarragon soda before. You can get those in Armenian and Russian stores usually. It would be cool to have a cocktail version that uses fresh Tarragon like that.

[Anonymous No.12149970]

>be me

>what i wanted is french tarragon

Fennel seeds are part of the defining flavor of several types of italian sausages and charcuterie. Basically fennel+chili is the flavor of standard supermarket italian sausages.

>>12149600
Sherry vinegar. Hardly see it in supermarkets (they all have 86 varieties of shitty balsamic, though), but it's easily my favorite acid seasoning. Bright but not overly sharp, complex flavor but actually melds into the flavor of the dish without being super overt like balsamic would be. Anything with a little bit of maillard/caramelization to it, it goes great with.

Honestly acid seasoning in general is underutilized, it's just as important as salt if you want to get great flavor out of things.

Fenugreek >>> fennel

[Anonymous No.12150183]

>>12150113
Those two things are not in any way interchangeable.

[Anonymous No.12150195]

>>12150113
what does fenugreek actually taste like? all googling said was that it had a "maple-like aroma."

[bruce No.12150211]

Anything with MSG. Got some boring ass rice? Add some Sazon! Got some boring ass soup? Add some Vegeta!

Sage tea a bit odd tasting, sort of like that weird smell old people give off, like antiques or something I dunno. Combine it with mint though and you get an amazing sore throat relief tea

[Anonymous No.12151708]

This, I discovered it making a soup from a cookbook and I wanted to know where it was my entire life.
>>12150059
Acids also help with the cooking process in a way salts and other seasonings can’t

[Anonymous No.12151720]

>>12149634
have you never had sausages before... it's like the most basic ingredient after salt

>Be me, 7

Finally the menace is under control.

I made the same mistake anon, except the mint still remains, hiding in my perennial herbs and hedges

Tarragon isnt underrated, it's just out dated and overused in the culinary world.

It's tastey as fuck with chicken and rabbit tho. And pairs nicely with grilled or braised carrots.

These little fuckers- ikan bilis (dried anchovies).
Shallow fry them with peanuts and a little chilli, they’re crispy and dank.
