It can be used to enrich sauces, dressings and mustard and dishes with green vegetables. Should be added at the end of cooking to make the best use of the fine aroma.
This is culinary royalty. The third most expensive spice in the world by weight after vanilla and saffron, Cardamom’s influence stretches from the curries of India to the bakeries of Scandinavia, not to mention in world famous gin distilleries and tea houses. Mill & Mortar sources its whole Organic Green Cardamom from the rainforests of Sri Lanka, where the villagers of Pilimathalawa have to get to the pods before the monkeys and boar eat them, or before the leeches, mosquitoes and other insects eat the pickers themselves. Picked while tender and green, the pods have a taste like nothing else,
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.
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.
