Spice of the Month - January

Pick up December's Spice of the Month and a recipe from January 6th- 31st.

We’ve been focusing on spice blends that are considered “standard in other parts of the world.  Advieh is a much used spice blend in Persian culture. “Advieh” literally means “spice.” It’s also knowns as Persian 7-spice.  It can be found in the cuisine of Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Egypt.  This is another instance where every Persian chef has their own personal blend of ingredients that they use to make THEIR signature Advieh

What’s in it?

Advieh uses many of the ingredients we’ve seen before in Spice of the Month - cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, coriander, black pepper, & cumin. It also includes dried rose petals and dried limes -- both signature to Persian cooking. Other than the internet, we could only find them at Labad’s Grocery in the Strip District.
