Steenbergs
Organic - the organic and Fairtrade spice specialist - is announcing
the launch of a new range of spice and herb seasonings inspired by
the complex, delicious flavours of Arabic cuisine - from the Lebanon
through to Morocco and including the Gulf States and Persia.
The new Arabic range includes 10
new organic blends as well as the relaunch of 3 organic blends with a
new improved recipe, such as our za'atar. To these, they have added
our ever popular harissa, qâlat daqqa, ras al-hanut and tagine
spice mixes.
Steenbergs organic dukkah is a
complex blend of toasted seeds - organic chickpeas, organic coriander
seeds, organic cumin seeds and organic sunflower seeds - and our own
unique blend of spices. Traditionally, dukkah is eaten by dipping
fresh Egyptian baladi bread (pitta bread will do!) first into olive
oil and then into the dukkah, but you can also use it to sprinkle
over salads or vegetables or as a crust for fish or chicken.
Steenbergs has developed a range
of classic spice mixes that are traditionally used in the local
cuisine as a general flavour for all types of food. There's organic
baharat from the Lebanon, organic boharat from Saudi Arabia, organic
Tunisian 7 spice, organic Armenian mixed spice and organic sabzi polo
and organic sabzi ghormeh from Iran.
Steenbergs Organic blends these
in-house to its own recipes developed in-house by Axel Steenberg,
using the highest quality organic herbs and spices sourced direct
from growers throughout the world. As well as buying from India and
Sri Lanka, Steenbergs source many of our ingredients from suppliers
in the Mediterranean such as Egypt and Turkey.
Axel Steenberg, Managing Director
of Steenbergs Organic, says: "Sophie, my wife, and I have
always been fascinated by the complexity that comes from Arabian
cuisine. It's one of the great classical cuisines of the world and
sadly largely ignored in Britain. We love the colours and sheer
variety of styles, from classical Persian blends to sweet & spicy
Lebanese. I really love the use of the sweet perfumed roses in
boharat, ras al-hanut and harissa with rose."
