Do you like to add herbs to the pot early on when preparing a dish?
Try a new strategy for more flavor now.
When
cooking
we use
herbs
to spice up a dish in terms of taste.
If this project does not succeed, there is probably a small mistake behind it.
We reveal how the
taste of spices is
best accentuated.
Do you have a full
spice rule
in your kitchen
that is bursting at the seams?
That should be a sign that hobby cooks like to
spice up
their dishes with
basil
,
dill
,
oregano
& Co.
And a diverse selection of herbs is actually worthwhile, because countless dishes taste much better with just very small amounts of spices.
A banal but very appropriate example: scrambled eggs *.
Depending on how you season it, it can taste completely different each time.
Cooking herbs: why you should avoid it
The correct handling of
spices has
to be learned.
For example, if you get too much salt or
pepper
, you can very quickly ruin the entire dinner for the family.
Accordingly, many people do without herbs completely - because the food would rather taste bland than too spicy.
Incidentally, a dish can also taste boring
if herbs end up in the saucepan too early
.
Some candidates on the spice shelf
lose their taste
if they are exposed to high heat for too long.
In this case, adding a large portion of herbs to the pot to compensate for any loss of taste does not help either.
The only solution to the problem:
wait until the food is ready before seasoning
.
Herbs should be used towards the end of the cooking time at the earliest.

You shouldn't add these herbs to the saucepan too early
To give the all-clear right away: No, you can use the two classics
salt and pepper right
from the start.
On the other hand, it is a little more critical with regard to
basil, dill, coriander, rosemary and chives
, reports the magazine
Freund
, among others.
If you put these herbs in the pot while the stove is warming up, you may not even notice that they are part of the dish at the end - or they give the end result a bitter note, as in the case of
rosemary
.
So wait a little longer from now on until you add spices to your breakfast, lunch and dinner.
