The Maillard Reaction
- Roast The Fresh Tomatoes - This is not as time consuming as you think, because the roasting can happen while you brown the meat. Be sure to see my tips for prepping some steps ahead of time!
- Brown the Onions and Jalapeño - Again, we are just building layers of flavor here. Brown means yummy! I'm not talking about burning them of course, but a nice golden brown on these veggies helps this chili shine.
Pro tip
The Secret to Perfect Pasta
Always salt your pasta water generously—it should taste like the sea! This is your only opportunity to season the pasta itself from the inside out. Use about 1-2 tablespoons of salt per pound of pasta for the best flavor.
Technique
