Cooking Up a Hearty Stew: Spice It Up with These Seasonal Favorites A simmering pot of ham, onions, beans, and cabbage is a delicious and comforting meal, but adding the right herbs and spices can elevate it to a whole new level. As the user Gilladian prepares their stew, they're looking for suggestions beyond the basics of salt and pepper. Adding a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar is a great idea to brighten up the flavors, but what else can be done to make this stew truly unforgettable? Consider adding some thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves to give it a savory, herbaceous taste. Alternatively, a pinch of cumin, paprika, or caraway seeds can add a warm, earthy flavor that complements the ham and cabbage perfectly.
I am simmering up a pot of ham, onions, beans and cabage tonight. What herbs or spices ( beyond salt and pepper) would you add? I will add a bit of red wine or balsmic vinegar if it needs brightening up. NO TOMATO! submitted by /u/Gilladian [link] [comments]
