Secret Ingredient: Cocoa
Do you ever have that secret ingredient that you put in some dishes that leave people eating more just so they can figure out what is in the dish? I have a few ingredients like that and cocoa powder is one of them. I put this in one of my southern tarts and it really mystifies people. It is also good in potato bearing soups. Some other secret ingredients are: lemon zest, freshly grated nutmeg and cardamom. I can inhale cardamom because it smells so good. What other secret ingredients do you use?
