Anyone have any good recipes using the spice Cumin??

Garlic and Cumin Grilled Pork Loin Roast Recipe Ingredients: 1 boneless pork loin roast, 2 to 3 pounds 1/4 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons ground cumin 8 garlic cloves, crushed 2 tablespoons lemon juice 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt Directions: Place olive oil, cumin, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, pepper and salt in bowl of food processor; process to a smooth paste (or place in blender and blend well). Place pork in shallow pan; rub with paste, cover and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours. Prepare medium-hot banked fire in covered grill. Grill pork over indirect heat, away from fire, for about an hour, until internal temperature measured with a meat thermometer reads 150 to 155 degrees F. Remove roast from grill, let rest 10 minutes before slicing to serve. Serves 4 to 6. I might also suggest that you look up Indian Cuisine recipes. They tend to use a fair amount of cumin spices in their food and it would give you many options.

I like to use cumin in chili, lentil stew, bean dip, burritos, and salsa.

Hi Tanika, you have good tastes, especially as Cumin is a key ingredient in Curry... also a very healthy herb - prevents nasty diseases like cancer & etc getting a foothold.. I'd suggest that Cumin can be applied to any recipe which might otherwise call for Curry, and there's an awful lot that would fall into that category. Strangely enough, I don't have any Cumin recip[es that I could find in my own recipe books, but there seems to be a lot of good info on Cumin recipes available on the Internet, eg - [ http://cuminrecipes.blogspot.com/ ] It's got me thinking now, about something I might not have otherwise. Thanks!

I love using cumin as the main spice in black beans and rice. I'll also add it liberally to chili.

Cumin is great paired with ground red pepper. I would agree that adding it generously to chili is a great idea. Also, any type of legumes hold the flavor of cumin well. Hope that helps a little!

Enchilada Sauce is pretty good home-made. 8 cups of water 1 t slat 3 T chili powder 1/2 t garlic powder 1/2 t onion powder 1/2t ground cumin 1/2 t black pepper 1/4 cup Masa harina flour Bring the water to a boil and whisk in the remaining ingredients. Simmer a few minutes to thicken slightly. It will make aprx 6 cups of enchilada sauce and keeps well in the refrigerator.

Please try Jeera(cumin) rice recipe. It tastes so good with kidney bean (Rajma) masala.
