Game-Changing Ingredient in Your Go-To Recipe

Hi, I'm new here!

Have you ever added an unusual new ingredient to a recipe that you make the same way all the time, but after taking a chance and trying it out, you can't go back to making the old classic recipe?

For me it was adding mint chocolate to a brownie 🤩

Hello and welcome! Looking forward to seeing some Polish meals as (no pressure) my Grandad was Polish so I've been looking for some things to try as part of my heritage :cool:

For my my secret ingredient I recently discovered is Sarson Gravy Browning. It was in a recipe I was following for Carribean Brown Chicken Stew and I've added it to things like Cottage Pie and Shepherds Pie and I swear it makes it taste different! I use it now instead of Worcestershire sauce.
 
I have two "secret ingredients"
they must only be used in quantities that are so not obvious the taster is left with a quizzical face saying "What is that?"

horseradish - preferred 'fool 'em' is the creamy in a jar type
anchovy - small qtys, use 'paste in a tube'

so many other spices/herbs are so powerful . . . even a smidge goes a long way and provokes "reactions"

the whole entire purpose / intent of a "secret ingredient" is to undetectably amp up the dish "taste" beyond the "usual"
