Flavour bomb recipes?

7 replies

I like a good batch cook or slow cooker meal for hectic life. Does anyone have some good ideas for flavour bombs? Ideally things that can be frozen?
I'm thinking pesto and other herbs with oil, but is there anything a bit more specific that will really elevate my meals?

Any ideas? Does anyone have a good recipe for fresh pesto?

Honestly I've never heard of flavour bombs. Sorry OP.

What's a flavour bomb?

Sprinklechops · 29/04/2024 21:49

Oh!! So you'd fill an ice cube tray with some herbs, spices, garlic, ginger etc and freeze, then when cooking you can make something relatively bland and then wham the bomb in to just really elevate a meal. Or like a plain tomato sauce, whack in some really nice homemade pesto and it's suddenly so much nicer. But you did all the work weeks ago and froze it.
I saw the term on here but now can't find it again and have seen it trailed in some recipe book blurbs, but I haven't bought the book as it was mostly meat and we're veggie

I'm wondering if it works for some middle Eastern recipes with things such as harissa in them, or curries as well as more fusion foods, but I'm not really sure.
Hoped someone here might have the answer!

Sorry, I don't understand ' flavour bombs' I just add spices and herbs accordingly.
Am I missing something?

I'm not sure about frozen cube flavour bombs, but I use the following things to elevate the flavour profiles of my meals:

Parmesan
Anchovies
Miso
Worcester sauce
Olives/tapenade
Lime pickle
Preserved lemons
Harissa paste
Massaman paste
Store bought pesto
Lemon zest

Would love to know the flavour bombs you use
