Bring the best of street food to your kitchen with the new Street Food Seasonings range
03 October 2018 | Schwartz
Did you find yourself immersed in the wonderful smells, sights and sounds of a street food market this summer? Street food markets are the perfect way to bring delicious local dishes from cuisines across the world to the palm of your hand. As the weather gets colder, bring the exotic flavours of a street food market into your kitchen with our new Street Food Seasonings range.
Our expertly blended spice mixtures take inspiration from all corners of the world. Our Baharat, Caribbean Jerk, Chimichurri, Korean BBQ, Mexican and Sriracha seasonings are far from restricted to one dish each – use them to whip up a number of different creations depending on what you fancy.
And what better time to refresh your recipe repertoire than when the kids go back to school? Spice up family mid-week dinners in a flash and jazz up lunchboxes with a simple shake of the sachet. Which one will you try first?
Baharat
Did you know that Baharat is the Arabic word for spice? This iconic blend combines earthy cumin, smoky paprika, nutty ground coriander, spicy cardamom and more for a taste sensation that’s surprisingly versatile.
Classic Middle Eastern dishes are easy to prepare with our seasoning – think hearty falafel wraps, lamb koftas and bulgur wheat salads. Our Baharat Roasted Broccoli and Halloumi Salad is the perfect healthy dinner packed with goodness. You could even swirl this seasoning into hummus and make it a dunking destination for warm pitta or crunchy vegetable batons – perfect for keeping the munchies at bay.
Caribbean Jerk
Bring the vibrancy of the Caribbean to your kitchen with our punchy Jerk seasoning. Classic allspice provides the perfect flavour base for layers of musky cumin, fiery chilli, zesty pineapple and hot cayenne pepper.
Our Caribbean Jerk seasoning brightens a number of different dishes. Knock up a creamy Caribbean Prawn and Sweet Potato Curry in no time or wrap up some marinated jerk chicken for an on-the-go lunch to get excited about. Don’t restrict this seasoning to just chicken – it also goes beautifully on fresh fish and seafood, crispy pork belly and even grilled aubergine.
Chimichurri
Argentinian steak is an iconic South American dish – and it’s one always best served with Chimichurri sauce. Our Chimichurri seasoning makes it easy to pack your food with flavour, with heaps of lemony coriander, peppery parsley, garlic and red pepper.
As well as using Chimichurri in a mouth-watering steak sandwich, try combining cuisines for our tasty Chimichurri Sausage Pitta, which layers spicy Spanish chorizo with sweet Chimichurri slaw. You could also make your own garlic bread, too – mix the seasoning with butter and spread it over a hunk of crusty bread or baguette for a real treat.
Korean BBQ
Korean BBQ is a relatively new cuisine to hit the UK restaurant scene – so make up for lost time by creating your own tasty dishes at home. Our Korean BBQ seasoning provides the perfect balance of sweet and sour thanks to tangy garlic, toasted sesame seeds, warming chillies and a dash of soy sauce.
This seasoning adds edge to a number of BBQ favourites, such as chicken, steak or grilled prawns. Veggies, vegans and meat-eaters alike will love our Korean BBQ Pulled Jackfruit sandwich, paired with crunchy Asian slaw. If you love getting messy for some chicken wings, swap Kentucky for Korean by adding our Korean BBQ seasoning to the mix – plus no one can witness the mess in the comfort of your own home!
Mexican
Who doesn’t love Mexican food? Create a flavour fiesta with our Mexican Seasoning, which is a gorgeous blend of spicy jalapeño, zesty lime and aromatic garlic.
You can make much more than just fajitas with our Mexican seasoning – stir some into guacamole or salsa for a fantastic dip for tortilla chips, veggies or as a spread for wraps and sandwiches. As the weather gets colder, warm yourself up with a zingy Mexican soup, which is perfect for taking into work for lunch. In the evening, get family and friends together for our Mexican Baja Fish Tacos with Pico de Gallo, where the seasoning adds depth of flavour to both the sauce and the batter itself.
Sriracha
If you like your food spicy, look no further! Our Sriracha seasoning is a red hot blend of garlic, chillies, red bell peppers, cayenne pepper and paprika that’s perfect for adding both heat and flavour to your dishes.
Our Sriracha seasoning makes tasty work of using up the contents of your fridge in a stir-fry. Whatever combination of meat, veggies or eggs you pair with rice or noodles, this seasoning brings it all together in perfect harmony – try our Sriracha Prawn Special Fried Rice Bowl for inspiration.
Alternatively, you can use it as a marinade for chicken or fish and make a simple salad or sandwich for lunchboxes the next day. You can even up your snacking game with our Sriracha seasoning by sprinkling it onto nuts or chickpeas, drizzling with oil and roasting them in the oven.
