Nutmeg and Cardamom! Today we're exploring a taste of Africa with these two spices.
Our organic ground Nutmeg is from India, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. The flavor is highly aromatic, sweet, warm with a woody-like taste. It is a staple in Indonesian, Middle Eastern, African and European cuisines. It can also be made into oil, and mixes well with an array of spices to make dessert spices, and chai.
Our Organic Cardamom has a sweet and strong cooling sensation. Our cardamom is grown in Guatemala and each pod is hand picked. By weight, Cardamom is one of the most expensive spices in the world along with saffron and vanilla!
AFRICAN PEANUT STEW
Cubed beef simmered with peanut butter, nutmeg, and chili powder as the main flavors. You can also make this vegetarian by substituting the meat with collard greens or kale. Add peas and carrots in this comforting dish if you wish.
CAPE TOWN BOBOTIE
