Eggs for me.
If we’re talking non meat then onion, spinach, pumpkin, tofu and taro.
No mention of garlic?
Any of the spices in five spice powder, or said powder.
Soy sauce.
Tomatoes.
Garlic 100%.
Always have garlic powder and 3-6 heads of garlic in my kitchen and I am not above roasting a couple of them heads at a moments notice so I can toss roasted garlic into anything.
My wife hates me lol
Garlic is the only answer for me. I double the garlic quantity in any recipe that calls for it. It’s just so good
“Garlic is not measured with spoons but with the heart”
Someone once posted that on reddit, I believe it.
When I started cooking, I thought a “clove” was the whole head of garlic. It tasted about right to me. XD
Garlic and onions. Any onions is good onions.
Hot peppers. Whether it’s jalapeno, cayenne, habanero, Thai chilis, ghost pepper, or even the milder ones like banana peppers, they’re all great. :D
plus one for eggs.
Smoked paprika
One of the most overlooked imo as the taste is subtle. But adding it gives such a homely warm feel to a dish.
- Noodles, especially spaghetti.
- Eggplants, especially grilled.
- Cheese, especially aged or blue mold cheeses.
Preserved lemon. It’s pickled, fermented lemon. Discovered it in Moroccan dishes, and it is heavenly.
Fuck yeah.
@Niello Garlic without question, then tomato.
For baking, cinnamon.
For meals, I find the key to good vegetarian food is tomatoes.
Meat, specifically beef.
I clicked this hoping it would feature a specific person and I was not disappointed.
Keeps ya skee-yun muh-wee-ist.
love
Sriracha. I put it on pretty much anything
look at Mr Moneybags over here able to afford Sriracha
Cardamon is highly underrated
Artichoke similarly underrated
Sun dried tomatoes … everyone knows this is S tier
How has no one said potatoes, or rice yet? They are both so incredibly versatile.
Personally, it’s potato. A large amount of cuisines use them and in wildly different ways sometimes.
Favorite in terms of “food with X in it,” or favorite in terms of adding it? Because if it’s the first one, it turns out I love me some damn onions something fierce. If it’s just “which ingredient do you enjoy adding,” eggs every time. So satisfying.
