أفضل Hoja santa للطبخ في المنزل

فائدة Hoja santa، المطابخ التي تستخدمه، وأين تجده.

لماذا تبدأ هنا

The anise-sassafras leaf Mexican cooks wrap around fish and cheese: a Piper cousin of black pepper, used as a wrapper and a perfume.

Use it as a wrapper, briefly wilted over a flame, or sliced into a sauce at the end. Long boiling dulls it. The veins are sturdy; do not be afraid of a whole leaf in a steamer.

If you cannot find fresh leaves, some Mexican markets sell them frozen. Dried hoja santa is a distant cousin of the real thing.
