Print this Recipe There are a few basic steps to follow when preparing certain ingredients for Mexican cooked sauces and seasoning pastes. The steps do take extra time, but are important to maximize the flavor of the ingredients and to reflect authentic Mexican tastes. Once you start cooking Mexican food frequently, the steps become almost automatic. When you see a recipe using certain chiles, nuts, herbs, seeds, or spices, you'll know that some toasting, grinding, and frying will be included in the preparation as described below. TOASTING NUTS AND SEEDS: Heat a comal, griddle, or skillet until hot and toast the nuts or seeds until they turn to a pale brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Watch carefully and keep them moving by shaking the pan or stirring to prevent burning. Transfer to a plate; they're ready to use. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
