SKORDO x Low Stakes Lodge Chipotle Maple Bar Nuts

We are excited for our friends and neighbors at Low Stakes Lodge and the opening of their new restaurant! Low Stakes opened in early July and is a partner restaurant to Highroller Lobster Co.. You will find SKORDO's own Chipotle Maple Rub used to spice the restaurant's Bar Nuts on the menu!

Asparagus, Mozzarella and Sun Dried Tomato Salad

This Asparagus, Mozzarella and Sun Dried Tomato Salad is a great way to use our SKORDO Pip+Zip Bloody Mary Blend other than adding flavor to the classic brunch cocktail. The salad is great topped with grilled chicken, steak, a couple fried eggs, or simply served as a side. Our team member, Jimmy, crafted this recipe up and shared it with the other team members who fell in love with it just as quickly.

Crispy Rice and Spicy Tuna Bites

Making sushi at home is intimidating and has lots of steps, but this spicy tuna crispy rice is an impressive appetizer that comes together simply and can be prepared in advance. While SKORDO Asian Sesame Tuna Rub
has been a long time favorite on a seared tuna steak, we’ve also always loved it to season rice and it will be the perfect zesty kick for our spicy tuna here.

Vadouvan Curry Shrimp with Shallots and Brown Mustard Seeds

This dish offers a complex flavor profile with a simple preparation. Vadouvan Curry Powder, a French curry powder made with warm Indian Spices and ground shallots, is both deeply satisfying while also being light. Pair it with quality shrimp, punchy lime juice, earthy brown mustard seeds, and savory scallions, and you have a delicious, elegant meal.

Sesame Crusted Feta with Citrus + Honey

A great snack, appetizer, salad topping, or addition to a cheese board! We used white sesame seeds and finished with honey, warmed with fresh oranges and a drizzle of olive oil. This is a very flexible recipe and low cost recipe, you can cut your feta into any shapes and season with any additional herbs + spices. No added salt in this dish as feta is plenty salty on it's own.

Aloo Samosas

Samosas are an Indian delicacy, and street food! The crispy triangle shells perfectly encase a fluffy potato and pea filling loaded with spices. These pack a little heat, but are often served with a cooling chutney or a curried ketchup. We made two edits to turn this traditional pastry into a quick and easy snack. 1)We used ground spices + warmed them in ghee, instead of using whole spices, toasting, and grinding. 2) We used empanada wrappers instead of making fresh dough, egg roll wrappers would work too! A samosa specific dough is pretty simple, and often uses Ajowan seeds or Caraway seeds- great to try if you have the time!
