I got a question about dried spice-mixtures: When do you add them?
In my case, I was cooking a mince-meat tomato sauce to go with spaghetti, and recently I have bought a spice mixture that is supposed to be used for that. I added the mixture when frying the meat, but now I'm wondering if I should have waited until the mince-meat was mixed with the tomatoes...
I think it depends. But you probably should add it in a bit later I'd wager. So it doesn't get overcooked. Just season the meat separately, say some salt, pepper, garlic, etc and then add the sauce seasoning to the sauce.
