Also use some wine for even more smells! Even when cooking Western food, I've grown fond of using a little bit of Shaoxing wine, and replacing a bit of salt with a dash of soy + fish sauce for more complex umami
I always use wine when cooking anything with tomatoes in it. Tomatoes (and other vegetables) have a lot of flavor compounds that are alcohol-soluble and the wine brings them out.
I didn't know that, thanks for the fun fact!
I see you're a man of culture as well.
For European cuisine, I like replacing salt with anchovies as they are basically just salt with benefits.
Have you ever tried cooking your own Jamaican Jerk marinade? Pimento, chili, garlic, onions, thyme and ginger, nutmeg, cloves plus soy sauce. And since that is supposed to cook for hours... your kitchen will smell lovely for days.
Ooh interesting! Will have to try that.
Never even made Jamaican food! Do you have a go-to recipe or chef/youtuber you'd recommend for jerk marinade/Jamaican flavours?
Yes, there is one Youtuber who makes super authentic Jamaican stuff called Feed & Teach. Watching his videos is worth it for the Patois alone.
This is the basis for the jerk sauce I was talking about, and this will make your kitchen smell nice.
Very very cool! Thank you for the links
