Ground Cumin

30 recipes 1 guide

Warm, earthy and slightly smoky, this spice deepens marinades, braises, bean dishes and seasoned meats without adding heat. Briefly blooming it in oil releases its aroma, while stirring it into sauces or spice blends gives a more rounded flavor. The common mistake is scorching it over high heat; burnt cumin turns acrid and can overpower the dish.
