Oh Cayenne!

Ah, cayenne pepper! It’s a spicy little ingredient that adds a fiery kick to your dishes. If you are looking to add some flavor to your meals, cayenne pepper is a go-to spice.

Cayenne pepper is made from dried and ground red chili peppers. It’s known for its heat, thanks to the compound called capsaicin. This fiery compound is what gives cayenne pepper its signature punch.

In the kitchen, cayenne pepper can be used in a variety of ways. Sprinkle it on roasted vegetables for an extra kick, add it to marinades or sauces for some heat, or even mix it with chocolate for a unique twist on some swicy desserts like this Coconut and Cardamom Rice Pudding.

How to Chop Cilantro

Chopping cilantro may seem like a simple task, but it can make a world of difference in your dishes. You can add it to things like salsa, guacamole, or a flavorful curry and  knowing how to chop cilantro properly can elevate the flavors in your cooking.

• To start, gather your fresh cilantro and give it a good rinse under cold water. Shake off any excess moisture and pat it dry with a paper towel. Now, grab a sharp knife and place the cilantro on a cutting board.
• Hold the bunch of cilantro by the stems and position your knife at an angle. Start chopping from one end of the bunch to the other, making sure to include both leaves and stems. Remember that cilantro stems are packed with flavor too!
• Continue chopping until you reach your desired consistency. If you prefer finely chopped cilantro, keep going until the pieces are small and uniform. For a more rustic texture, you can leave them slightly larger.
• Once you’ve finished chopping, gather up your freshly chopped cilantro and add it to your recipe. The vibrant green color and fragrant aroma will enhance any dish you’re preparing.
