Try some acidity! You can use any citrus juice like lime, lemon or orange. Vinegar also works very well. Some include apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, and rice vinegar. *If we are testing a new recipe, we like to use small portions of the cooked meal to see if a certain spice or vinegar will help the dish, rather than ruining the whole dish if it does not work!
We challenge you to pick 2 nights this week and use 2 different spice blends for the two meals cooked! Need some examples? Take a look at this recipe for spaghetti sauce, and this recipe for a delicious enchilada bell pepper. Happy cooking!
