10/7/2023 0 Comments Does jiffy cornbread mix go bad![]() Vegetables: Corn (canned or fresh), roasted peppers, hot peppers, fresh or cooked onions, fresh or roasted garlic, roasted or sun-dried tomatoes (fresh are too watery), green onion, roasted sweet potato, etc. I would stay away from delicate spices like cardamom, as it will have trouble standing up against the strong flavor of cornbread. Anything that works well with savory foods. Spices: Chili powder, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, mace, mustard, paprika. Dried spices are a fine substitute, but be sure to give them a sniff for staleness, as there's nothing like musty rosemary to throw off the whole taste. ![]() Herbs: Fresh herbs of any type are excellent, particularly rosemary, basil, parsley, sage, oregano, chives, or thyme - most anything you've got growing outdoors. I'd stay away from cottage cheese and ricotta, but that's about it. Really, any cheese will that's not too runny will be a good match. Here's what I've tried: Cheeses: Brie, cheddar, feta, chevre (goat cheese), parmesan, blue, swiss, mozzerella, gouda, colby, cream cheese, manchego, pepper jack, and probably others that I can't recall. Just pick one from each category (Cheese, Herbs/Spices, Vegetables/Meat) and you're set to go. My standard approach to modifying cornbread is to figure out what else we're eating, and find a mixture of cheese and herbs/spices and sometimes vegetables that will complement the meal. ![]() Other southwest-ish ingredients you may like to include: corn (canned is fine - about 1/4 cup) 1 T chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce 1-2 Tany other type of marinated and/or roasted peppers, chopped 1 T green onions (scallions), chopped pinch oregano anything else you particularly like and have on hand Lumps are normal, so don't worry about beating the batter perfectly smooth. If it's too wet, worst case scenario it just won't rise quite as high. I'll cover some other seasoning options in the last step, but since we're going for a vaguely southwest-style cornbread here, I've assembled the following ingredients: 1 onion, minced 6 cloves garlic, minced 2 serrano chilis, minced 1/4 c roasted tomatoes, coarsely chopped 1/4 c jack cheese, chopped or grated 2 T pesto Since there's a bit of liquid in the tomatoes and pesto, I added slightly less milk than the 2/3 c usually called for in a two-box situation.
