Umami is one of the five basic tastes along with salty, sweet, bitter, and sour. It’s characterized by a mild, lingering flavor and pleasant mouthfeel that is enhanced with aroma. Think: Parmeggiano cheese, mushrooms sautéed in soy, or simply a ripe tomato. This savory recipe features umami-rich anchovy with some garlic to complement the bite of fresh radish.
