Basically the title. I want to learn more about some ingredients or food items that you use frequently in your cooking and that aren’t super common where you live.
Example: Roasted sesame oil. Didn’t know there was such a thing until a year ago, and I never want to miss it again.
Fresh mint, not ridiculously uncommon or anything but I never see people buying it and its rarely called for in recipes I encounter. I use it in a ton of soups, salads, and dressings. Also its like my favorite flavor ever.
I don’t love mint as a food ingredient, but it’s good to have on-hand because you never know when you’re gonna need an emergency mojito.
I grow my own!
I hope you’re fencing that shit in, because every time I tried to grow mint, it took over the entire pot and the ones next to it.
Maybe not very uncommon but very underrated!
