NEW HARISSA AND CHIPOTLE SPICE BLENDS BRING THE MYSTIQUE OF THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE ANCIENT AZTEC EMPIRE TO THE TABLE
Take Your Taste Buds Back in Time and Around the World with Pereg –
It’s a Cinch with Just a Pinch!
Pereg Natural Foods, a leading purveyor of exotic spices and blends, introduces two new taste sensations to its exciting lineup: Harissa and Chipotle Seasonings.
Harissa and Chipotle belong wherever you want extra oomph without diluting a dish’s other flavors. They deliver a spicy, aromatic kick to anything from hummus and scrambled eggs to roasted vegetables to rice and couscous. Both are excellent and easy dry rubs for meat, chicken, and fish. They can be used to season soups, stews, and meat loaf. Try them as mix-ins with mayonnaise and dips, or sprinkle them on popcorn or sandwiches. They can even add an element of intrigue to chocolate!
About Harissa
Zesty, earthy, and aromatic, harissa is a staple of Middle Eastern and North African kitchens from Israel and Tunisia to Morocco, Libya, and Algeria. Available either dry or as a paste, it’s made from chilies and other spices, depending on the region, but is relatively mild. No shawarma or sabich is complete without harissa. Pereg’s Harissa Seasoning is a bold blend of red and ancho chili peppers, cumin, coriander, caraway seeds, paprika, and other high-quality ingredients.
About Chipotle
The warm, smoky chipotle (from the Aztec word chilpoctli, meaning smoked chili) has been around for centuries. There is evidence of its appearance at an Aztec banquet; the early Mesoamericans also used it in trade, in warfare – think pepper spray – and as a preservative. It’s believed that the chipotle chili was introduced to Europe by Columbus. Today, although chipotle is often found in cans with sauce made from ancho chilies, the powdered form is more versatile. Pereg’s Chipotle Seasoning balances chipotle peppers with brown sugar, paprika, and other spices.
