Advieh Mahi
Persia is one of the oldest civilisations on the planet, with borders that have fluctuated throughout history. Persian cooking draws upon a multitude of cultural influences, including Asian, Armenian, Iranian, Greek, and Russian cuisines. This is especially evident in this particular 6th-century BC blend of herbs and spices. Advieh, pronounced (/æd-v/), loosely translates from Farsi to mean ‘spice mixture,’ with ‘Mahi’ meaning fish.

Celery Salt
As sodium is considered to increase heart disease, by the mere fact that you are reducing your salt content with “celery salt” this is considered a positive. It is also considered to alleviate the pain of gout.

Fenugreek Leaves
Native to the eastern Mediterranean region, fenugreek leaf is considered great for gut health, a healthy scalp and hair growth. Its flavour profile is less intense than the seed variety.

Cumin Seeds
Thought to be native to Egypt’s Nile valley and the Eastern Mediterranean region, it is traditionally taken to aid digestion and to relieve flatulence.
Origin
Similar to all the Advieh family, the Mahi blends origins lie in the Persian region. Persia is one of the oldest civilisations on the planet and is where modern-day Iran now stands. Its borders have fluctuated through history, but at its most expansive, the Persian Empire extended to Egypt, Greece and Turkey. As a result of this, Persian cooking draws upon a multitude of cultural influences including Russian, Greek, Asian and Armenian cuisine which is very apparent in this blend. The influence of Persian cooking can be felt far beyond the borders of the old empire. Many dishes in India and the Middle East have their roots in ancient Persia, so much so that many Indian dishes still have Persian names. In fact, India’s spice-centric cuisine is believed to have descended from Persia’s love of seasoning.

How to Use
The Mahi Blend can be used in any seafood dish. Mixed with a pinch of a salt and neutral oil (grapeseed, vegetable, canola or a light olive oil) brush the mix over grilled or roasted cod, sea bass or even salmon, for a perfectly seasoned fish. You could even marinade the fish in the same way as above, pan fry or use in a fish stew for dinners and suppers. We would recommend any sustainable fish that is in season to enjoy with this blend.
