Tasty Mexican Spices - Cumin, Chili, Coriander and More

by KC Kudra

Many Mexican recipes contain Mexican spices. You can get some of these spices, such as garlic, pretty much anywhere but others give unique flavors and are harder to find. Epazote is an uncommon spice. Also known as “Mexican tea,” epazote flavors foods such as beans. It is poisonous in large amounts so care should be taken. It is good at soothing intestinal pains caused by overindulgence in beans and similar foods. The spices should be matched to the meal so spices for Mexican refried beans, for example, would be a different mixture to the spices for cheese enchiladas.

by KC Kudra

Depending on the flavor and texture you are looking for, there are many different ways to cook fish. You might be cooking steaks, fillets, or whole fish and there are many methods to try. Stuffing is a good way of adding flavor and texture. Using round fish is best because they have a bigger body cavity. Be careful not to overstuff the fish if you are using a breadcrumb stuffing, because breadcrumbs expand when cooking. A parsley and walnut pesto is very good with sea bass. If you are using fillets, you can sandwich them with stuffing or roll them up, then oven-bake them.
