Ottolenghi Inspired Spice Set

Ottolenghi Inspired Spice Set

Famous for his healthy, flavor-filled recipes, Chef Yotam Ottolenghi is the inspiration for much of what we do at Spice Station. We pay homage to his extraordinary talent with this spice set that will help you create many of his signature dishes like:

Mushrooms and chestnuts with za’atar

Bourbon glazed spare ribs with smoked corn salad

Braised fennel with capers and olives 

Your Ottolenghi Inspired Spice Set comes with these nine essential spices.

• Aleppo Pepper

This burgundy colored pepper delivers a complex array of flavors and sensations, with fruity, earthy, warm flavors like hints of citrus, raisins, tomatoes, and spices like cumin.

• Sumac

These reddish-brown berries are ground to release their combination of sour, sweet, and bitter flavors for fruit and sour taste similar to lemon.

• Turmeric

Turmeric provides that yellow color so prominent in Indian foods like curries. It has many significant health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties.

• Urfa Biber

With the lasting build of its mild heat and a smoky, raisin-like flavor, this unique pepper is common in meat dishes and yogurt sauces, but you will find many other uses. Try adding it to chocolate for a surprisingly pleasant and unique flavor.

• Barberries ( Zereshk Berries )

Originating from Iran, this vitamin C-rich spice is essential in Persian cuisine and has the most antioxidants among all berries. Its distinctly sweet and sour taste works well in savory and sweet recipes.

• Hibiscus

We source our Hibiscus flowers from North Africa for their full flavored rosy tartness, lending its unique bouquet to any recipe. Perfect for making tea, Hibiscus flowers can cool fevers and soothe heat exhaustion.

• Ancho Chile

Ancho is a large, mild, sweet pepper with hints of raisin and plum and a rating of 1000 to 2000 SCO units. Along with Mulato and Pasilla peppers, it makes up the “holy trinity” of peppers in traditional mole sauces.

• Cascabel Chile

This round chile’s tangy flavor and low heat level combine well with its more intense relatives. Use it in soup, salsa, or any recipe you want to add just a bit more punch.

• Harissa

This African-based spice is often associated with Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria, a standard ingredient in North African cuisine. Harissa is perfect for grilled chicken and lamb, barley stew, and spiced nuts.

We hope you enjoy this Ottolenghi inspired spice gift set, it is sure to make any mouth water. Alternate selection may include Green Zahtar.
