Umami Paste - Old Bay - 06-12-2011
Flavor #5!!! We spread some on good ground beef patties, grilled them and topped with gorgonzola==this really works!!! It adds a "deliciousness" to savory foods. We got ours at Central Market.

Ingredients?
Anchovies and/or MSG (i.e. the two most common umami ingrdients)?

Tomato paste, garlic, anchovey, black olives, balsamic vinegar, dehydrated porcini mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, citric acid, olive oil, wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and milk.
I think the mushroom and the balsamic contribute the most, after the anchovey.

Yep. Lots of umami there: anchovies, Parmeasn, porcini, olives, balsamic. So glad they didn't go with MSG. After all, umami has been sold in powdered form, for years (it's called "Accent Flavor Enhancer), but that was MSG.
Cool!

Very cool! It's interesting that some of my favorite flavors are considered to by umami flavors.

The June issue has a recipe for 'Umami Dust' to be used with a burger - burger is topped with Stilton, then dusted and finally drizzled with a ruby port reduction. sounds very good!!
In a spice grinder: 3 T. bonito flakes, 1/2 oz. crumbled dried kombu (or kelp - seaweed which is sun-dried), 1/2 oz. dried shiitake mushrooms.
The article said it (umami dust) will soon be available thru umamiburger.com

That's interesting. I KNOW I can get the mushrooms and seaweed from the Asian store in the city. I bet they've got the bonito flakes there as well. I'll have to check.
