nepas, morning...... This "missing something" has been buggin' me..... now that I'm not the only one that thought that, I am doing research.....
[h1]Ingredients [/h1]
Onion, garlic, Cumin, Oregano, salt, Black pepper, Orange and Lemon Juice
I have this book, "Page and Dornenburg" are the authors... "The Flavor Bible" is the title...
Oregano is not listed as an accompanying flavor to orange....
A list of the "major" compatible flavor profiles they list, that I am going to try, in my own scratch mix, are........
basil, black pepper, cilantro, cinnamon (stick), garlic, honey, (orange blossom honey might be good here), onion, rosemary and vanilla (bean I would think).....
The citrus flavors sounded soooooo good, I was disappointed in the flavor profile it left in the food.. Maybe I expected too much, probably.... I sure smelled good when it was cooking...
One thing I'm thinking is making a finely ground rub from the spices and herbs... maybe adding to a brine... and then basting with the fruit juices....
Well, I had to share my last few hours of thinking with someone....
