Garam Masala
$7.00 – $22.40Garam Masala is a versatile blend from Northern India traditionally used in samosas, dahl and tandoori. Combining the sweet curry flavors of Cardamom, Nigella & Cumin with black pepper, Garam Masala can be used as an accent in any curry dish, or as a finishing spice. Add to ground turkey for a great burger, or use as salt-free rub on lamb, beef or chicken.
French Vinaigrette
$7.00 – $22.40Traditional French meals are completed by serving a simple salad course, frequently just lettuce or frisee leaves moistened by a very light vinaigrette. Our French Vinaigrette Dressing is authentically based on shallots, milled mustard seed, and French herbs. After mixing (directions below), pour some dressing into the bottom of your salad bowl before adding the dry lettuce. Toss and enjoy. Also makes a wonderful marinade for asparagus, broccoli, or green beans. Bon appetit!
Traditional French dressing or vegetable marinade directions: Mix 2T Blend with 2T water, let stand 5 minutes to rehydrate. Whisk in ½ cup olive oil & 1/4 to 1/3 cup vinegar (typically sherry vinegar, wine vinegar, or our personal favorite, champagne vinegar).
Quick Tips:
- Toss some French Vinaigrette Spice Blend on white fish before grilling or pan-frying.

Coriander, herbs, paprika, with a touch of Saffron form the base seasoning, which provides a Georgian accent to eggs, soups, sauces and more.

This takes pizza to “eleven”. If you like the chili flakes sprinkled on your pizza, you’ll never be able to go back to the dry stuff found in the little paper packets after trying this. This is the stuff! ~ posted 10/25/2015

Used the Calabrian Chile in pasta Aglia e Olio this evening and I’m never going back to ‘Chile flakes’ from TJ’s or the local organic market again. A lovely heat that doesn’t mask deeper flavors, this is vibrant!
