WHAT IS IN THIS PERSIAN-MEXICAN SPICE BLEND?
I have thoughtfully created this aromatic, all-purpose seasoning to bring out some of the iconic flavors and aromas found in Persian and Mexica cuisines.
I hand-craft each bottle using ELEVEN HERBS + SPICES:
INGREDIENTS: TURMERIC, GARLIC POWDER, CUMIN, CILANTRO, FENUGREEK, ANCHO CHILE POWDER, SUMAC, PAPRIKA, PARSLEY, BLACK PEPPER, AND SMOKED PAPRIKA
HOW MUCH OF THIS SPICE BLEND SHOULD I USE IN MY DISH?
As a rule of thumb, I suggest using between 1/2 teaspoon - 1 teaspoon PER SERVING of whatever you are making. The bolder you like the flavor, the more you can use.
For example, if you are making a pot of soup/stew that makes 6 servings- use between 3-6 teaspoons of the PÉRXICAN® spice blend, depending on how much spice you like.
If you are making yourself breakfast tacos with two eggs, use 1/2-1 teaspoons of the spice blend
WHAT ARE SOME EVERYDAY DISHES I CAN USE THIS SPICE BLEND IN?
Below are some ideas for dishes you can use the PÉRXICAN® spice blend (and SALT) FOR THE PERFECT BALANCE OF FLAVORS.
I will be adding more ideas, recipes, videos and tips-this is just a start! I encourage you to experiment and try creating your own dishes with this blend!
