Guest guest Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I just discovered an easy way to reduce the spicy-ness in foods! Yesterday I made soup and got a little carried away with the spices. After the soup marinated overnight in the frig I could barely eat it because it was so overpowering (due to spice overload). I decided to try lemon juice to cut the strength of the spices so I could salvage the soup. Well, guess what - it worked! Now my soup is not only tasty but edible too!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 That's very good to know, Sandy. I can be a bit too liberal with spices at times so I shall try this the next time my hand slips whilst putting spices in my soup!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I put way too much cumin in my guacamole the other day and it totally ruined it for me. I do put lime but maybe next time I can put more lemon to help out with the over-cumin. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Yay! I've also used fresh lime juice, canned diced tomatoes, or the liquid from canned tomatoes. I think I've read that it's something about acidic liquid/foods dialing the heat back a bit. (I'm not sure if I have the correct line of reasoning, but it definitely works.)
