WHAT TO SEASON WITH... Hi Barb

[Guest guest]

You can toss a little liquid smoke in with your pintos or even with your greens when cooking. Will add the ham type flavoring. I use kombu (dried seaweed found in Asian stores) for my beans. I also use cumin (ground) along with onions and garlic with my pintos or I will toss them in the crockpot along with a can of Mexican style stewed tomatoes.

Hi! I am having trouble in figuring out what to season my foods with. Like pintos? I used to season with ham... greens, used to be bacon drippings... need some advice here because see this is getting into the autmn season and I eat a lot of pintos and cornbread and greens. So any suggestions would sure be appreciated! :)Barb"Welcome to the jungle we've got fun n' games.We got everything you want, honey we know the names.We are the people that can find whatever you may need.Source: Guns N' Roses "Welcome to the Jungle"

Liquid smoke is great and have used it over in the lentil loaf recipe

(in the files). However, be sure not to add too much, the first time I

used it I over did it and boy was that dinner salty!!

 

I also add cumin to almost everything I cook. And lately I've been

adding tumeric. I add these spices as I saute the onions, just when

they are getting translucent. Then I add my other ingredients.

> look in the spice isle of the market for liquid smoke, it's not a

ham flavoring but makes food take like you have added a ham into the

soup or beans. It gives that kind of a smokey flavoring. You can try

some soy based bacon bits (like you toss on salads) but read the

ingredients to make sure they are vegetarian.
