Three Ingredients to Turn Any Dish From Boring to Aromatic
Almost no one has time to prepare an elaborate multi-course meal every night, but whatever you cook (be it a simple fried chicken, a bowl, or lentils), this aromatic trifect from Sarah Britton will make your dinner absolutely delicious.
Using one (or all) of the following ingredients, Sarah is taking her self-proclaimed “Monk Food” to new, flavorful heights.
- Fresh herbs like basil, dill, or mint are pretty obvious choices (and you can buy whole plants for a very low price!) And can be added at the last minute for a vibrant herbal flavor.
- Roasted nuts like walnuts and pecans add texture, richness, and rich aroma to salad and stews.
- Citrus peel does everything it touches, from proteins to vegetables to even eggs .
Just one of these ingredients will improve the quality of almost any dish from “good” to “delicious,” but add all three and you, as Britton put it, “really bring flavor to the city.”
