Sofrito - 14th Century Mediterranean Flavour Base Spice Blend
29g
Our grandmother's Bahārāt. This generational timeless blend is the perfect combination of sweet and smoky without any spiciness. An all-purpose heady collection of spices, encompassing flavours like black lime (loomi).
Origin
The flavour profile can vary dramatically depending on which region within the Middle East & North Africa it comes from. This one is a traditionally-inspired take from the Gulf of Arabia.
Taste
In the Gulf region, the smoky and citrusy flavour that cuts through the richness of Arabian dishes is achieved with black dry lime, or ‘loomi’, which is in this Bahārāt and is also known as ‘Kabsa’ spice blend - a rice & meat dish from Saudi Arabia-.
Scent
Sweet, smoky and balanced, with light peppermint notes from the bay leaves and although there is a high content of black pepper, it is not pungent.
How to use
Ideal for Sunday roast or any occasion roast. Use it as a rub or marinade, it also lends itself to rice dishes, soups, tomato-based sauces and Arabian breads.
