One idea is buy a new gadget (or ask for one).I love my new air fryer.
It was something I actually didn't expect but now having it has given me a ton of possibilities.It also gets me to work with panko breadcrumbs which I've done with only or two recipes.Cooking breaded cauliflower may not seem adventurous to some but this good for you veggie has never been on my culinary top ten list.NowI'm going to be dunking it in crumbs and blasting it with hot air.
If you have your eye on other kitchen gadgets like this, get them.I thought I would only use my immersion blender for soups, but it works well with creating salad dressings and dips.As for new ingredients,I was not one for poppyseed but baking them into cakes brought the sweet's taste to a whole new level.I'd love to try a poppyseed butter cream frosting.Roast garlic is another experiment I want to try.It's versatile that it can be whole into a side or blended with olive oil and think for a creamy sauce for chicken.Another spice I'm going to get daring with is sumac..This is one of the ingredients in Za'atar but it can be used for flavoring chicken, steak and various salads..
It's 2019.Be bold and adventurous with your cooking.Go where you wouldn't go before!
