Contrary to popular belief, bay leaf is not a universal herb.
In some dishes this spice should not be added under any circumstances.
Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking, a chef and a fourth-class baker for the online publication Belnovosti, told us which dishes should be prepared without using bay leaves.
What dishes do not contain bay leaves?
Firstly, this seasoning is not suitable for vegetable and chicken broths. They have a delicate taste, and bay leaf will spoil it with its bitterness.
Also, you should not put this spice in mushroom and fish soups and main courses with fish.
Bay leaf is ideal for fried and stewed dishes with meat and vegetables, thick soups and preparations.
