What's your secret ingredient that makes your version of a common dish better than anyone else's? (lemmy.world)

Mine probably isn't that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.

Last year I picked a huge amount of mushrooms in the forest, dehydrated them (you can buy a dehydrator or use an oven) and ground them to a powder.
I put mushroom powder in damn near everything I cook, gives it a nice hit of umami.

Be careful out there..

I never pick any mushrooms which could potentially be confused with anything toxic. Even if I'm 99% sure, that's not enough.

Dried shiitake mushroom powder slaps hard

Hell yeah. Unfortunately they don't grow where I live, but we have plenty of Porcinis and Chanterelles which taste amazing
