"Spice is life. It depends upon what you like... have fun with it. Yes, food is serious, but you should have fun with it."
-Emeril Lagasse, Chef

The refrigerator light goes on...

I first had this meal in a small family owned Mexican restaurant in California. I am a fan of green sauces and when I ate the pork stew I knew that I needed to recreate this recipe. It’s fresh and healthy with great veggies and lean pork. Best of all it’s so simple -- 5 minutes of prep and an hour later you have dinner.

Cumin

Cumin is a thin spindle shaped seed that resembles a caraway seed. It has been used as a spice for millennia. When the spice is ground, it has a slightly hot, piquant flavor that is used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Spanish and Asian cuisines. It was imported to the Americas and is a staple in Mexican and South American recipes.

A little goes a long way and too much can quickly overpower a dish. As with any spice, buying whole seeds and grinding them results in a much fresher flavor.
