As I was perusing recipes earlier today (ok, just before dinner) I got to thinking, So many recipes, so many variations, so much deliciousness, but one difference I just don't understand. Why is it that some say saute the onions, peppers, garlic before adding the meat while other brown the meat then add the onions etc?
So, why the difference? Please remember we are talking same recipe's here. Is it taste, personal preference, or just technique? I love to play in the kitchen just as much as the next person but just don't understand why so many great chefs/cooks are split on the order in which they do things. I have my own ideas on why this is, but I'd love to know your opinions on the subject. Do you steam or do your saute?
I have no fancy or mouth watering pictures to post here. Just plain and simple, what do you all think? How and when do you what you do? I would really love your feedback.
Oh, and if you have a great eggplant recipe i'd love to know that too!!!!!
As always, thanks for coming,
