Spices and other extras can make a meal perfect

The Extras Make it Special

Sometimes a meal isn't really a meal without an extra recipe that make it special. An extraordinary sauce, just the right dressing, or an extra like olives or pickles can add just the right touch to a meal and make an ordinary meal perfect.

Don't be afraid to experiment with sauces and condiments when you cook. They are not hard to make and get easier the longer you experiment with them. Many meals don't need a fancy sauce, either. Some are just fine served with plain old ketchup, mustard, or relish.

Ethnic recipes often use ingredients you might not be able to find at your local market. Don't be afraid to venture into an ethnic supermarket when you shop, you may be surprised at the appetizing extras you find on the shelves.

Try making some of your own condiments like ketchup and relish. Once you see how simple they are to create and how much better they taste, you may never go back to store bought again!

Handy Extra Recipe Tips

It's incredibly easy to make your own vinaigrette. Add olive or canola oil to any flavored vinegar until it begins to emulsify. You can add flavorings like herbs, garlic, and even vegetables like roasted peppers to the mix. The best thing is, they taste SO much better than store bought dressings!
Make an extra recipe with a compound butter by softening a stick of butter. When it's soft, add your favorite ingredients, such as blue cheese, chives, garlic, or whatever you wish. Mix well, form the butter into a roll, wrap it in waxed paper or plastic wrap, and chill until firm. Use this flavored butter on steaks, vegetables, or just about anything you'd put plain butter on. It's delicious!
