I think you may in fact have more spices than I do, which I never thought I’d get to say! That is quite the impressive collection. What made you start collecting spices? Are they all individual spices or do you have blends in there as well? How do you handle one-off spices that you got that you just wanted to try out or that you needed for a particular recipe? Do you separate out any of your other spices (grill seasonings, baking spices, etc)? I have so many questions. :)
For chinese, thai, or stirfry recipes, I would agree. Cornstarch and chinese 5 spice makes an awesome combination. For indian recipes though, I like to use equal parts cornstarch, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice to get more of the cheesy taste that paneer would have.
Demons of Good and Evil by Kim Harrison. I’ve been reading the series since 2004, and I do a little happy dance every time a new book comes out.
Brussels sprout hash. Slice 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts into ribbons. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a non stick pan. Add the brussels sprouts and half a bag of frozen hash brown potatoes. Stir everything together. Then I usually add some thyme, paprika, salt and pepper. Cook for about 20 minutes stirring every few minutes until you get nice golden brown bits on the sprouts and potatoes. Divide it on plates and then top with either a fried or poached egg.
This looks amazing, I will have to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing!
