It, being the holiday season, I thought it best to talk about broth. I know it sounds so basic because really broth is quite simple - you buy a can and poor it in. But have you ever stopped to think how your food tasted after you cooked it. Is it a little too salty? Lets take a step back to the oh-so-basic broth. Did you get low or reduced-sodium broth, or did you get regular broth? You know, the one that has enough salt to stop a healthy heart. If you used the regular broth and added salt as the recipe calls, you have now overloaded the great stuffing or gravy with way too much salt. So, when a recipe calls for broth, use low/less-sodium broth, because you can all ways add salt, but you can’t take it away.
And the most important rule for cooking is - TASTE your food.
