Flavor & cooking character
Earthy, warm, nutty, slightly bitter and deeply aromatic.
Cumin gives a deep, earthy center to a dish, while coriander can lighten it with citrus-like aroma. If the result tastes dusty, give the powder moisture and gentle cooking rather than adding another dry spoonful.
What to cook
Chili, tacos, falafel, curries, beans, rice, roasted vegetables and grilled foods.
How much to use & when to add it
Start with 1/2 teaspoon per pound of food or 1/4 teaspoon per cup of beans.
Warm briefly in oil or a moist onion base to round its aroma, then add liquid.
Use this amount as a starting point for flavor, then adjust to your food and taste. If other ingredients bring salt, sweetness or heat, account for those before adding more seasoning.
Kitchen idea: Cumin tomato chickpeas
Soften a little chopped onion in 1 tablespoon oil. Add 1/2 teaspoon cumin, one can of chopped tomatoes and a drained can of chickpeas. Simmer until the sauce thickens and finish with lemon and chopped herbs.
Culinary background
Cumin has a long record of culinary use across the Mediterranean and western Asia. Whole seeds and ground cumin give cooks different control over texture and distribution, which helps explain why both forms appear in spice cabinets.
