Hi there
anyone watch Heston Blumenthol on Sunday
he was cooking a spag boll
But to add a moorish meaty taste to the sauce ANY sauce he said he introduced carelmalised onions but with a twist
he fried off his onions until well brown then broke up one star anise placed it in a muslin bag and placed it amongst the onions and carried on frying them !!
now before you say aniseed isnt the flavour missing what he says is star anise does something spectacular moleculer to onions ...it changes there structure without adding the star anise flavour and changes it to a meaty moorish flavour
make of this what you want

will watch out for it next sunday - really enjoyed the last series.
i use anis in whatever base i make (1 off per 800g onion).
not up on the chemistry but moorish is definitely good for curry

Sounds good. If you're going to trust someone regarding cooking it's got to be Heston. I didnt realize this series had started yet!
