Recipes
 

Cocoa
Joe

Joe's Sirloin Tips


Give your tastebuds a wakeup call!


Cocoa Joe is a rich blend of ground espresso beans, cacao powder and other spices.

→ The full flavor works well with beef and lamb. Rub the meat with a little spice before roasting,  or marinate in a simple blend of Cocoa Joe and some olive oil before cooking. 

→ Mild fish is also a great match for this blend. Try a dusting of Cocoa Joe over a white fish like talapia before popping it under the broiler.



Feisty
Fiesta

Yogurt Veggie Dip

Southwestern Corn and Black Bean Salad


Like a party in your mouth!


Inspired by the tastes of Mexico, this blend is delicious on roasted or sauteed chicken, and most green vegetables.

Why not try mixing a little Feisty Fiesta into some sour cream for a fantastic, fresh dip for raw vegetables or chips?




Hurricane
Curry
(formerly Fiery Fusion)

our Potato Salad recipe

Middle Eastern Deviled Eggs


"Hurricane" for the touch of cayenne...  


This curry-based blend gives an exotic taste to whatever it encounters.

• add a dash of Hurricane Curry to vegetable soup or stews
• stir a teaspoon into the water when making rice

• sprinkle lightly over salmon before broiling

• fabulous paired with lamb chops




Instant
Jerk

Caribbean Pulled Chicken


Inspired by the complex, spicy taste of Carribean Jerk.


Ξ It's hard to go wrong with Instant Jerk! It works wonderfully as an intense seasoning for almost any meat,  as well as roasted white or sweet potatoes.

Ξ Mix a little Instant Jerk with honey for an easy glaze for salmon fillets before baking or grilling.

Ξ Tofu or tempeh can be substituted in many jerk recipes that call for meat




Racy
Paprika

Creamy Rice Strogonoff

Silky Paprika Mushrooms


The name says it all!

The paprika in this blend isn't just there for color;  Racy Paprika has a deep, slightly hot taste that livens up food.

•  Sprinkle lightly over most cooked vegetables for added taste.

•  Making a pork roast? Drizzle some oilve oil over the roast then rub in Racy Paprika.




Rosemary's
Chicken

Herbed Potato Crisps

Quick Greek-style Shrimp


Chunky and full of flavor!


This is the most wholesome of our organic blends -- big pieces of lemon peel mix with rosemary leaves and ground peppercorns. It's best used where BIG flavor is called for!

≈  Peel and quarter potatoes and place in a shallow roasting pan. Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over potatoes, then toss with about 1 TBSP of Rosemary's Chicken until evenly coated. Roast uncovered at 400° until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

≈  Rosemary's Chicken is delicious on....  chicken! Rub on the inside and outside of a roaster chicken before baking,  or lightly spinkle on pounded chicken breasts before sauteing in olive oil on the stove. 
 



Sunny
Sicilian


You think you know Italian?


Sunny Sicilian shows you that there is more to "Italian" than basil and garlic!

→ The intense flavor works well with anything that can stand up to it:  beef, lamb, chicken, pork as well as pasta and cheeses. Rub on dry before cooking,  or marinate in a simple blend of Sunny Sicilian and olive oil before cooking.

→ For the world's easiest appetizer, cube some mozzarella and press one side into a dish of Sunny Sicilian.  Serve on a pretty plate, spice-side up.  So simple yet so delicious!




Sweet
Asian

Butternut Squash with Roasted Spiced Seeds


This is one versatile spice blend!

Sweet Asian has a sweet, peppery flavor that delights your palate.
 
¥  Create a marinade for meat, poultry and heartier fish like salmon or halibut.
¥  Sprinkle on sweet potatoes or yams before roasting them in the oven.
¥  Create a stir-fry of tofu, broccoli, mushroom, carrot and onion, adding a touch of Sweet Asian at the end.
¥  Add to wilted spinach, along with a drizzle of olive oil.



Tangy
Citrus

Grilled Citrus Scallops

Lemony Asparagus


Two kinds of orange give this an intense burst of citrus!

Tangy Citrus can make its home almost anywhere on your plate. It has a light, fruity, garlicky taste that gently highlights other flavors.

Õ  We love it sprinkled on broiled scallops, or any light fish.
Õ  Try making a vinaigrette with extra virgin oilive oil, a white vinegar, minced shallot and a sprinkling of  Tangy Citrus, to taste. The amount you use will depend on how strong your vinegar is.
Õ  Steamed asparagus takes on a new dimension with a light drizzle of olive oil and Tangy Citrus.




Thai
Treasure


You're not in Kansas any more! 


Thai Treasure is exotic by any standard -- whole lemongrass and powdered lemongrass combine with garlic, ginger, cumin and basil to make up an intensely flavorful blend.

…  Looking for a quick way to create a unique rice dish?  Sprinkle about 2 tsps of Thai Treasure into your water before making rice.

…  Tofu lovers, check this out:  make an easy stir fry with cubed firm tofu, vegetable oil, strips of red peppers and a sprinkle of Thai Treasure.
