Private Notes
Comments
We have cooked this recipe for years. I don't think I ever put in salt. We eat it on rice.
Too much cumin and not enough other spices. It was very one note. Tasted almost nothing else. We added sweet potatoes which saved it.
Cooking for young ones, I skipped the eggplant and jalapenos and simplified the seasoning by using homemade "taco seasoning" (NYT recipe) that I keep in a jar!
