New Spice Blends Launched By Bart Spices

A range of new spice blends for poultry, meat and fish has been launched by Bart Spices and join the existing successful range of speciality blends.

Ras El Hanout - A blend of 11 spices (including ginger, paprika, allspice and cardamom), with the addition of rose petals to add a soft, floral touch. It is perfect for flavouring tagines and couscous dishes or can be combined with oil and lemon juice to make a marinade for lamb, chicken and fish.

Baharat - Inspired by Middle Eastern cooking and contains cinnamon, cayenne pepper and nutmeg. It is delicious with grilled meat - simply rub in before cooking. It can also be melted with butter for basting a roasting chicken.

Jerk - A hot and spicy blend that is great for classic jerk chicken or to add a Caribbean twist to a range of meat dishes.

Creole - Inspired by the flavours of America's Deep South, this blend uses cayenne to give dishes a piquant and peppery flavour.

Cajun - This hot chilli blackening spice blend adds an authentic taste and colour to fish, poultry and potatoes. It's also a great addition to salsas.

Poultry - A peppery blend with red and green bell peppers, garlic, lemon and herbs.

Meat - A spicy seasoning blend that is suitable for all meats. Use to add flavour to homemade burgers and a great addition to favourite barbecue meats.

Fish - A simple lemon and pepper seasoning that accentuates the natural taste of all fish.
