Nigella is used as both spice and garnish in Indian and Middle East cuisine. The flavour is mildly aromatic, and when cooked (roasted, baked or fried) emanates notes of oregano and a light, peppery bitterness, a bit like bread crust.
In the European world, Nigella seeds are being increasingly used in seed bread, vegetable, fish and lamb dishes. Nigella seeds originally come from India and are used in many of their most popular dishes, either as sprinkles on flatbread, and vegetable and meat curries.
Mermaid’s Bite has won the first place in the “Best Grill Spice” category at The Danish BBQ Championship.
Mermaid’s Bite has a fresh and sublime flavour that marries well with fish, grilled vegetables or light meat. This blend has notes of mint and citrus on a base of green fennel, coriander and three kinds of seaweed. The “bite” comes from a touch of chili. Can also be used to enhance fish-fingers, fish cutlets, soups and breads.
As vibrant in flavour as they are in colour, Mill & Mortar’s Organic Pink Peppercorns have a glorious floral and fruity sweetness balanced by a spicy bitterness. These can be dropped whole into a gin and tonic or cocktail; crushed into dressings, stews, curry pastes and sauces (particularly creamy ones); or used to decorate soft cheese, homemade chocolate truffles, salads, steak or simply cooked fish and steamed vegetables.
