Some housewives consider cinnamon only a dessert spice and usually use it in homemade baking.
For example, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova , cinnamon is often added to traditional charlotte, although even here there are nuances in preparation.
Try this method: Heat two teaspoons of ground cinnamon in a dry frying pan for 30 seconds, then add a cup of sugar and a pinch of vanilla. Mix all the ingredients well and use this mixture to create an apple pie.
This method is needed if you want to make the baked goods even more aromatic and sweet and spicy in taste.
But for some reason it is not customary to add this spice to meat – and it is completely in vain.
Just try adding a small amount of cinnamon to the spicy tomato sauce served with lamb or chicken in Eastern cuisine – you will immediately feel the difference.
It will also add a more subtle flavor to the meat pilaf.
Remember that cinnamon should be added to hot dishes no earlier than 7-10 minutes before the end of cooking, otherwise the dish will be bitter.
Feel free to experiment and add cinnamon to your homemade preserves. Marinades with this spice will give vegetables unusual flavor notes.
