I’m a HUGE fan of "flavor" … and by flavor I mean … sweet, salty and/or sour (although, not bitter … bitter exists more as a warning, not so much as a pleasing sensation). Typically, I cook something and then I build those flavors using a bit of salt (or something salty), something sweet and something acidic … usually in the form of lemon juice. It’ll really vary from recipe to recipe. In many cases, you can just leave it out, but you can also substitute with something like lime juice. You can also use vinegars. In this, for example, a nice spanish sherry vinegar would be wonderful! In general, it’s good to wrap your head around the idea of "sour" as a flavor enhancer. Vinegar, citrus juices, buttermilk, wine, tamarind, sour cream, etc. are all tart/sour things that can help balance a recipe and enhance flavors and bring them into focus. Does this help?
