Pho-Nominal Chicken Soup

10 min

Making a flavorful pot of pho at home is easy with our Pho-Nominal Broth blend. For this recipe we created a chicken pho, or Pho Ga, but the beauty of this broth blend is that it is so versatile it can be used for whatever type of pho you are craving, so you can pick and choose your favorite meat and vegetables because we've taken care of all the spices. Using our mix you can make pho in less than an hour!

Buffalo Totchos

In the realm of culinary fusion, which can admittedly be hit or miss, "totchos" are a stroke of pure pub-fare genius. Universally beloved, the combination of tater tots and nachos are proof positive that good things can be made even better. So we thought we'd see just how far we could take it with a couple of beloved spice flavors. Yes, Buffalo Spice on chicken and fresh Ranch dressing for the drizzle and dunk. 

Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Salad

The salad starts with an easy sheet pan chicken, pulled from a quick two-ingredient marinade of buttermilk and Buffalo Spice. Stay with the recipe proportions for a satisfying medium heat or fire it up with more Buffalo Spice.  The heat is complimented by the tang of apple cider vinegar and a pep of lemon crystal for a lively and versatile flavor. This chicken is sure to be a staple around our house this summer and will do equally well on the grill. Then toss it together with all the other goodies and you've got a salad that really satisfies. And just for fun: is it blue or bleu cheese?

Italian Herb Quinoa Tart

15 min

We love quiche but it's a bit of a commitment, so for a quick and easy alternative to fill the quiche niche, we created this tart. It has all of the brunch flavors you crave, but instead of making a classic custard we folded together cooked quinoa, eggs and fresh ricotta salata for a luscious base. Easy! Combined with spring vegetables and a classic seasoning of Italian Herbs, this tart will be your new versatile brunch favorite. Caramelized leeks and sweet peppers were our first choice, but add in your favorite vegetables in any season.

Garden-Veggie Focaccia

30 min

Garden-Veggie Focaccia is fun to make and a tabletop stunner. Both rewarding and forgiving, this recipe bakes up spongy on the inside with a crispy cheese crust. The secret to getting the top layer golden brown is our Nigella Caesar blend. It has all of the savory flavors of Caesar salad that go perfectly with the generous amount of olive oil and parmesan cheese in the focaccia. You can bake this in a deeper pan for sandwiches or a more shallow pan to cut out the perfect bread sticks. Have fun and use your imagination to decorate! Just cut off a square and enjoy it along with your favorite soup, salad, or marinara sauce. If you want a little more garlic flavor, melt some butter and stir in some Garlic Salt and brush the top of the freshly baked focaccia.

Winter Citrus Salad

Winter often gets overlooked for its fruit bounty so keep your eyes open and don't miss out. This salad hits all the flavor highlights and brings the promise of spring right to the table. It is sweet, salty, sour, and best of all bright! To top it off, we created a French inspired strawberry vinaigrette with our Orange Tarragon blend. Full of umami with shallots, chives, garlic and black pepper, this blend brings the garden to the plate to complement the fruit. Once emulsified, this vinaigrette is a pretty, dusty pink, with bright and fruity flavors. The recipe makes a generous measure of vinaigrette and it is delicious with so many things! Arugula, goat cheese and radicchio make a great pairing, or drizzle it on grilled salmon or chicken.

Creole Sausage & Shrimp Jambalaya

15 min

Many cuisines have a meat and rice dish in their repertoire, and Jambalaya is the Deep South's version. This dish doesn't take all that long to cook, making it a delicious one pan meal. The rice absorbs all of the flavors from the Andouille sausage, garlic, shrimp and the "holy trinity" of Creole cooking—bell pepper, celery, and onion. Adding our Creole Spice doubles down on the flavor with a base of paprika, thyme, oregano and cayenne, giving the dish a solid kick of heat. This is a great choice for a week night dinner for two—or double it in a paella pan for a celebration.

Adobo Chicken with Huacatay Salsa Verde

This tantalizing sheet pan supper is both easy and delicious. The star of the show is the salsa, where we've sweated down vegetables to unlock their flavors, then blended them with huacatay and fruity Aji Mirasol chiles for a South American twist. The combination is perfectly balanced, allowing both flavors to shine. The Adobo-seasoned chicken and zucchini create a delicious canvas, absorbing the savory goodness of the salsa. Spatchcocking the chicken ensures even cooking and simplicity. 

Hawaij Chicken Stew

15 min

Looking for a warm and filling stew that won't weigh you down? Look no further! This light yet hearty stew is bursting with flavor and is the ideal comfort food for a chilly winter day. Seasoned with the Yemeni all-purpose seasoning Hawaij, it imparts an earthy taste and a beautiful pale golden broth. This versatile blend of spices makes this soup light, but hearty with flavor. This is a great dish to meal prep leaving you with a delicious and easy weeknight meal. Enhance the warmth with Cinnamon Sticks and a touch of sweetness from an orange.
