What's your secret ingredient that makes your version of a common dish better than anyone else's?

Mine probably isn't that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.

Ground fennel seed.

People use it for chicken, fish and broth and it's great in all of them but it realy shines in salads.

I used to be just like you, not really liking salads. They were always just a side dish or something to eat when I wanted to be "healthy". But that changed when I started adding fennel seed.

Now, whenever I make salad I start by adding a ton of FS, think "shit, I added too much", sit down to eat it only to get back up amd add more.

I hate hate hate fennel. Idk what it is about it but i hate it 😭. To each their own i suppose

Then I strongly encourage you to try fennel seed. It's an entirely different flavors all together

Hmmm, maybe i'll give it a shot. Ive only ever had it twice, once infused into alcohol and the other in soup.
