Cinnamon is one of those spices that (almost) everyone loves madly. An ingredient that tells us about the warmth of Christmas, with an almost comforting smell due to how sweet it is, it smells of beautiful memories. It is not true? Cinnamon is a truly versatile spice in the kitchen, both for sweet and savory preparations. Here is a quick guide to use: discover some secrets of this ingredient!
Cinnamon: a thousand uses in the kitchen!
Desserts with cinnamon What are the ways in which cinnamon can be used in the kitchen? It can be used to create a glaze, for example: add a little cinnamon to the butter when preparing muffins or cakes and you will make the flavor of the cream tastier and more intense. If the desserts you are making contain fruit, then it's perfect: an orange donut or a lemon or strawberry cake go very well with cinnamon! You can also use cinnamon to garnish your desserts which will become more colorful and your savory dishes for a more exotic taste! Try cinnamon on rice, hot chocolate or a muffin: easy, quick and tasty. Did you know that cinnamon can also be used for drinks and cocktails? Try sprinkling on your hot chocolate or coffee in the morning: an avalanche of energy will arrive. Cinnamon, in fact, is a very powerful natural energizer (and, let's face it, good too!).
Cinnamon: use it on your savory preparations
Have you ever thought about using cinnamon to prepare a sauce to season your savory dishes? Add cinnamon to mayonnaise or mustard to sweeten the flavor and make it even tastier! For savory recipes, cinnamon is a spice that lends itself really well: how to use it? Simple, cinnamon adds what in the kitchen is called "complexity" to dishes, a flavor that no longer leaves the taste buds. This especially happens for meat-based dishes such as chilli con carne, lasagna or chicken! It will color and flavor all your dishes. Cinnamon can then be combined with other spices: try mixing it with fennel, coriander or chilli and tell us how the experimentation went! How do you like to use cinnamon in the kitchen?
