Recipe #3 has this ingredient in it Lydia. When I am in the States I buy the larger cans.

#3 :)
I made a soup with this ingredient once... it seemed to cause the soup to ferment (thus exploding when the container was opened) which earned it the title of "The Angry Soup". Didn't do so well in that recipe, but I do still keep some on hand since I love the flavour so!

Yes, 3. But you are opening up old posts, and every one of them is worth revisiting and saving (on Delicious, so helpful!).

I am guessing C. I never buy this, but I do buy this ingredient in a different form.

Number three, even though when I first looked at the recipe names I was positive the other two had them in the recipes!

3. I am never without at least one can. Yum.

Lydia, you are diabolically clever, leading us back to previous recipes! I just made "Quick and Easy Black Beans and Rice," which I saw as I perused some of your entries. It was delicious - and as easy as promised. Thank you!
