Prepared for downvotes


I make my roux with butter.



Probably not totally untraditional, but it seems to raise an eyebrow whenever I do it, chili powder on glazed carrots.




I don’t think I have much to add to this thread.

Nothing to downvote. I've considered doing this myself and may actually try it next time. While I usually reserve butter for my blonde roux, I can see it working well for a dark one. People think it will burn, but who's cooking a roux over high heat anyway?

I've had this, and yes it's great

I like to use green tomatoes to make salsa verde.

A little dash of cinnamon in pork marinade, sometimes


I almost always rub my ribs or pork roasts down with cinnamon before the rest of my dry rub goes on. For cooking on the pit.

Worcestershire sauce is severely underutilized, especially how often you see like soy sauce as a “secret ingredient” in random recipes.

Some ground up fresno chilis make any soup or stew--chili, chicken soup, jambalaya, red beans--a whole lot better.

It's up to 8 now. Guess it's a popular thing to do?

I rest briskets 15-16 hours. I'd consider that non-traditional for backyard BBQ enthusiasts.

Nutmeg in mashed potatoes.


I like a loaded baked potato from time to time and my usual way of fixing them includes the following:

Shredded cheese---usually the Tex/Mex type
Real bacon bits
Butter
Salt and pepper to taste
And sour cream with finely chopped green onion, parsley and a couple sweet basil leaves finely chopped mixed in it.

The sweet basil takes it to another level for me.

Smoked Paprika on sweet potato fries. Probably more common to go with cinnamon.

I've cut up sweet potatoes, turnips and radishes, tossed them in EVOO, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika and cooked them in the air fryer. Pairs well with some Whataburger spicy ketchup (or your own house version) for a french fry alternative.

Salsa in ground beef mixture for burgers. Makes it more juicy and adds a nice flavor

How are you accounting for all that extra water?

Scrambled Egg Sandwich

Put two eggs in a bowl, microwave, scoop out and put between bread.

Get a more chunky salsa and put in colander for 30 seconds or so.

Still seems like you'd need bread crumbs or something to soak up the tomato juices. But I'll give it a go and see what happens!
