How to use herbs and spices in cooking!

Step 11Cumin.

Cumin.
Cumin can be found ground or as whole seeds. Cumin has a very strong flavor and taste that nothing else can compare to. I suppose earthy and pungent are two good ways to describe it!

I use cumin powder in curries, soups, stews, with beans, in spice rubs, for taco seasoning, etc. Cumin seeds are great sauteed in a little butter or olive oil - I normally cook rice this way - just dump it in the butter and saute along with the seeds until the rice is translucent and then cook the rice acccording the package directions. Very tasty!

If you'd like to try cumin in something, try my tortilla soup.
