Description
Thanks to its shape of eight-pointed stars, star anise is one of the most interesting spices. It has a slightly sweetish aroma with a spicy end. The taste is similar to fennel, but a bit sharper. It should not be missing in apple and other fruit compotes or in various types of pastries. It provides a warming effect. The Asian cuisine uses star anise to savoury dishes such as soups and stews. Star anise is always part of the famous Vietnamese pho soup.
The advantage of star anise is that, unlike most other spices, it can be cooked for a long time. Put it in the pot with other ingredients from the beginning. Its aroma will be gradually released, developed and saturated in the whole dish. You can also use the stars of the star anise to make a variety of fragrant decorations.
