Our friend and cooking instructor Lili brought us this fantastic recipe. As you read Lili’s instructions, a very specific mental picture forms as she describes spreading the dough: “as if you’re aggressively playing the piano.” When she teaches pizza and flatbread, she’ll teach you how to shape the dough using your “kitty cat paws.” If...

BUTTERNUT SQUASH HUMMUS
We haven’t met a butternut squash dish we didn’t like. And now we can add this one to our list of likes! The hint of spiciness from our Harissa Extra Virgin Olive Oil plays perfectly alongside the sweet butternut squash and umami creaminess of the chickpeas and tahini. We definitely like – no, love –...
DEVILED EGGS WITH ZHUG & PICKLED RADISHES
Three scrambled eggs. That’s a big, hearty breakfast, right? So why is it so easy to scarf unlimited deviled eggs while standing at the buffet table? We have no idea, and we’re also not mad about it. These deviled eggs are case in point: delicious Kewpie Mayo filling with nice warmth from Urfa Biber Chile...

SMOKED TEA UDON NOODLES

BLACK BEANS & RICE
We love leaning on pantry staples to pull together delicious dishes. Canned black beans and rice pair up to create this yummy and satisfying recipe. Our Creole Cowboy Blend and Roasted Chile Avocado Oil bring in the warmth and flavor in this satisfying side. Or main dish. Or lunch.
ROASTED APPLE CHIPOTLE SWEET POTATOES
Meet your new grilling & BBQ side dish! We love these smoky-sweet potatoes as a side for grilled pork chops, BBQ chicken and smoked brisket. Our Apple Chipotle Blend is in good company with sweet potatoes. They roast up golden brown with lots of crispy edges. Try these in place of hash browns for breakfast...
SAVORY HERB COMPOUND BUTTER
Our Savory Steak & Chop Blend is a complex set of herb flavors that harkens back to old-school steakhouses. We love this tarragon-forward blend for big cuts like porterhouse and bone-in chops. It’s complex but definitely not complicated. The perfect example is this five-minute compound butter. Whip up a batch and you’ve got yourself a...
