Suggested Recipes:
Chermoula
$10.50Chermoula is used as a marinade or sauce for Moroccan tagines of fish, vegetables, or meats. With its spicy, tangy flavor, substituting Chermoula for pesto or chimichurri on any dish delivers a signature Mediterranean flavor.

Axiote
$9.00 – $25.00The Annatto tree is often referred to as the Lipstick Tree as it is used to color many cosmetics including lipstick. Native to the rain forests of the Yucatan and Belize, the spice is known throughout Central America by its Nahuatl name, Axiote. Blended with other spices and herbs, and ground into a paste, axiote is a mainstay of Yucatecan cuisine, and is used to season primarily chicken, but is also used on fish, lobster, and pork (achiote paste is marketed throughout Central America as “recado rojo”). In India, Hindu women use it to make the mark on their foreheads.
With a distinctive mildly bitter, earthy flavor, the annatto seed is most commonly used in Western culture as a food coloring for cheese, margarine, butter, rice, and smoked fish. We use it as a primary ingredient for our Belizean-inspired Axiote rub for chicken and fish.

La Kama
$10.25 – $27.70La Kama meaning “the bed” in Darija is the most common spice blend used in Moroccan cooking. Credited by some as originating in Tangiers, its aromatic sweet and warming flavor can be found in a multitude of dishes throughout the Barbary Coast and Middle East.

My favorite curry. Disclaimer, I lived and worked in Africa and spent a lot of time in South Africa. I had an exceptional cooking class in Bo Kaap in Cape Town. This curry is true to the original. Love it! PS – Thanks Chef AJ for introducing me to the awesome Local Spicery!

This is a beautiful, powerful, flavor.
When I shred apples, just a little sprinkle, makes it taste like I’m eating a very fancy dessert! What a surprise!

This Bo Kaap Curry seasoning was one of the first spice blends I purchased not too long after the Spicery opened! It is what made me fall in love with curry dishes and many Indian Foods! Not long after I went on a Curry kick, trying many different curry blends and sauces! I got burnt out! I have to say many are too hot/spicey for my stomach!
This Blend is awesome though! Very flavorful and not too hot! LOVE IT! Time to make a trip back to The Spicery and get some more!!
