How to use spices correctly
The time it takes to add spices depends on the type of spices and the dish you are preparing.
For example, it is better to add spices to a salad or compote a few hours before serving. During this time, they will fully open up.
As for green herbs and chopped spices, it is recommended to add them only at the end of cooking.
Basil, oregano and thyme are herbs that release their flavor better when ground in a mortar.
The same goes for black pepper. It is better to buy it packaged whole, since ground pepper is not as aromatic.
It is also worth considering that during the cooking process the taste of red pepper intensifies, therefore it should be added with caution so as not to overdo it.
