Curry Leaf Ghee

Ghee is a versatile staple to have around the kitchen. It gets accolades as one of the healthy fats, and it has a very high smoke point. To make ghee you are removing all the water and milk solids from butter, making it is shelf stable so refrigeration isn’t necessary. Beyond the practical—it’s incredibly delicious! The delightful buttery crisp it adds to cooked foods feels like a guilty pleasure. Roasted potatoes with ghee are crispier, popcorn with ghee doesn’t get soggy and wait, it gets even better—ghee is an awesome vehicle for spices!

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.

Crispy Cajun Okra

Fried okra is a Southern favorite, known to convert okra haters into okra lovers. Likely it's because okra fresh from the fryer lacks the abundant "slime" associated with some okra dishes. And who doesn't love all things breaded and fried, right? Our recipe for Crispy Cajun Okra will bring in even more converts because we've done it all without the fryer so it's guilt-free. Loved the crispy okra? Have fun and use this breading method with other veggies like zucchini sticks, cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts.

Valentine's Pepper Pocky

Pocky is fun to eat, fun to make, and fun to spice! White chocolate bloomed pretty in pink with the addition of Beet Powder, kissed with a sprinkle of Pink Peppercorn. Set aside a little bit of white chocolate before you tint the whole batch so you can add a fancy swirl of white over the whole cookie.We chose dark chocolate with Tellicherry Black Peppercorn as the second flavor and the chocolate-pepper combination was fantastic. Pile them on a platter, dip them in cocoa and enjoy. The homemade Pocky are irresistible.
