644322 Thu Aug 13 06:21:39 -0700 2009 17 31 Home Cooking 0 4942582 I had always only used Worcestershire sauce in micheladas, bloody marys, and welsh rarebit. (and one day, if my husband eats meat, and I cook hamburgers, there too.) Last night, I blanched and shocked some broccoli, and then saute it in olive oil with chili peppers, minced garlic, and lemon zest. I had hoped to add anchovies, but our guests aren't fond of them. It really needed something, so, on a whim, I added a few heavy handed dashes of worcestershire sauce and it was magical. I served it with a fried egg, and some toasted thick turkish bread that was toasted and rubbed with garlic as a starter. Where else have you found it to create a vast improvement? Thu Aug 13 06:21:39 -0700 2009 22624 relizabeth 1 4942657 I secretly add it to my salad dressing for spinach salad to add a little salty-meaty kicky. Thu Aug 13 06:48:16 -0700 2009 4942582 157661 hollyd 1 4942759 I use it in tomato-based pasta sauces as it adds a rich flavour to them and as an ingredient for various marinades (both for meat and fish). I find that it does help bring out other flavours. Thu Aug 13 07:20:54 -0700 2009 4942582 240789 Paula76 1 4942813 relizabeth, great idea. i have to ask, though, since you said that "I had hoped to add anchovies, but our guests aren't fond of them" : did you guests love the broccoli dish with the worcestershire? i think it's funny how people just KNOW they don't like something! LOL! Thu Aug 13 07:35:15 -0700 2009 4942582 105717 alkapal 1 4942825 Hopefully your guests don't know that worcestershire is made of anchovies! I use it all over the place, especially with red meat. Couldn't make meatballs/loaf, pot roast or burgers without. But also fish sauces like scampi or fra diavolo. All marinades. Tomato based grain dishes like Spanish rice. Good with green beans, greens, spinach salads, mushrooms. Anything that calls for fish sauce, even though I have that too. Just watch out if you're feeding vegans!

But his 11 year old son seemed a bit picky - didn't eat the risotto, much of his full english breakfast or sweet and sour chicken- but eagerly lapped up the broccoli.

Thu Aug 13 08:18:49 -0700 2009 4942582 225234 KiltedCook 1 4943369 I make my own salad dressings and use it in addition to anchovies in many (Green Goddess, Cesary, Garlic). I love Lea & Perrins and it adds just the right amount of kick. I also like it with cheese. At holiday time, I make these tangy homemade cheese crackers and put some in , then roll them in nuts and slice. Wonderful!

Thu Aug 13 12:49:03 -0700 2009 4942582 77061 bear 1 4944091 I learned from my Dad to put it on eggs. I rarely make eggs at home for myself without a splash of worcestershire on my eggs (or on the toast I'm eating with the eggs). If I am making a veggie dip - herb dip, onion, spinach, etc. - I usually add a couple splashes.

A tipsy Brit, upon eating it, asked, "what's dis here sauce?" Sun Aug 16 08:47:51 -0700 2009 4942582 12296 steakman55 2 4951012 and then the english county was named after that? ;-).
