Origin
The epitome of mood food, this good food blend, is of Persian origin. Like garam masala is to Indian cooking or ras el-hanout is to Moroccan cuisine, Advieh is at the heart of the Persian kitchen. This traditional spice mix is comparable to a mild garam masala — fragrant, a little sweet, and gently warming.
Taste
Earthy and floral flavours with light bitter notes that create a complex blend that works in a well formed partnership. The luxurious and complex nuance of saffron gives you an incredible depth with plenty of warmth to any dish that this blend is used. Totally scrumptious.
Scent
Instant hit of grassy, honeyed notes, you get the warm distinct aroma of saffron with an undertone of cloves that adds a subtle sweetness.
How to use
This Advieh blend has a multipurpose use. It adds incredible depth and warmth to a host of different dishes. Beef or lamb stews, chicken casseroles, grilled meats and all vegetable medleys elevated to a new level. Advieh-E Khoresh loosely translates as “stew spice” in Persian. It’s quite popular in vegetarian stews such as aubergine/eggplant stew. A little bit goes a long way. Add ½ teaspoon to begin with and build on the profile to suit your taste. It is great for adding to a slow cooker with beef, lamb or lentils, walking away and enjoying the signature fragrance until it is ready to serve.
