4000 mile marinade. 500ml
Inspired by the impeccable Ethiopian and Eritrean Berbere spice mix which was created as North African cultural groups were involved in the famous, ancient Silk Road trade route that went from China, the Middle East, crisscrossing through the Horn of Africa and then to the Roman empire. This route spanning about 4000 miles is responsible for the trading of ideas, inventions, fashions and spices. As a result one of the most dynamic and surprisingly versatile spice mixes was invented. In the spirit of innovation, we’ve ran this mix through our lenses and available ingredients.
Aged pickled cucumbers marry perfectly with fenugreek, cardamom, allspice, cloves, nigella seeds, Thai and Genovese basil seeds, cinnamon, Diavolicchio chilli, cumin, coriander seeds, pepper, bay, ginger and garlic.
Don’t be scared by its complexity, the flavours sing in vibrant unison. This complex marinade is ready to go. Toss with roasted veggies (think eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, fennel, carrots). Marinate meats like chicken, lamb, goat and fish prior to cooking or alternatively drizzle over the finished meat. We love adding this condiment to yogurt to make an excellent dipping sauce.
Every mouthful we’ve had of this creation sparks joy and we’re sure you’ll feel the same.
