Green Thai Curry Salmon-SKORDO

Green Thai Curry Salmon

Green Thai Curry is the most unique to our other curry blends, with bright flavors from ginger, lemongrass, and Makrut lime leaves. This bold + refreshing curry powder blends beautifully with coconut milk + fresh herbs. To help the powder dissolve evenly into the sauce, I first made a paste with oil + water, you can read more about the process in our SKORDO Kitchen Blog: From Powders to Pastes.
Strip Steak with Harissa Butter and Parsley Salad-SKORDO

Strip Steak with Harissa Butter and Parsley Salad

What a perfect weeknight meal. It's quick, bursting with flavor and satisfying! Coming from Antoni Porowski's, of Netflix's Queer Eye, new cookbook Let's Do Dinner, this is a recipe I'll be using again and again. The book's recipes reference his role on the show. It's packed with how to's that are fun and inviting. 

One tip on this recipe, don't skimp on the fresh lemon zest! It heightens the Harissa and cuts the richness of the butter in the best ways. Our steak was served with roasted cauliflower and I added husk cherries to the salad for a bit of sweetness. 

Chickpea, Quinoa, and White Bean Chili-SKORDO

Chickpea, Quinoa, and White Bean Chili

It's hard to find a chili I don't like, so I had high expectations for even the healthiest of versions. This was delicious, I didn't miss a thing! A great recipe from Antoni's new cookbook, Antoni, Let's Do Dinner. We amped up the flavor with Chili Seasoning instead of chile powder. Our spice blend has three types of Chile powders: Chipotle, New Mexico, and Ancho. Top this simple recipe with your favorites additions and you've got a delicious healthy meal.
Masala Chai Tea-SKORDO

Masala Chai Tea

Based on Cari Karonis’ at home recipe for chai, we can't get enough of this warming spice blend. Cari is a founder of SKORDO and coffee enthusiast. She’s been making a version of the blend for years and the decision to add it to our collection was a long time coming. This aromatic, spicy Masala Chai Spice Blend will warm not only your body but your soul too.
Tamarind-Maple-Glazed Acorn Squash with Chile Yogurt-SKORDO

Tamarind-Maple-Glazed Acorn Squash with Chile Yogurt

"Fruity, tangy tamarind joins forces with maple syrup to heighten the earthy sweetness of roasted squash. Cool yogurt spiked with smoky chiles adds more layers of flavor and texture" With some adaptations to utilize SKORDO ingredients, this recipe from Everyone's Table by Gregory Gourdet was a delightful way to dive into the fall season. 
Moon Drink-SKORDO

Moon Drink

I prepared this as a supplement for my family while they waited for Stewed Pork to cook from Everyone's Table.  I could only find ashwagandha in capsule form, so I opt'd out of using it here. Turmeric is a spice superhero and provides too many benefits to count, so the drink is still very immune boosting. It was certainly a hit, served either warm or cold.

Clove + Ginger Lemonade Elixer

This recipe from Upgrade Your Immunity by Dr. Joseph Mercola is meant to be sipped early in the morning, on an empty stomach, to stimulate digestion and begin some detoxification. Plus, the cinnamon will regulate your blood sugar. It was a nice jumpstart to the morning!
Mushroom Latte-SKORDO

Mushroom Latte

A fun variation from a morning coffee, this mushroom latte from Upgrade your Immunity by Dr. Joseph Mercola is a great way to introduce the immune boosting effects of mushrooms without having to cook them into a meal.
Recipe Box-Jerk Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe-SKORDO-

Jerk Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Sometimes you remove the carbs and cheese and you really miss them. That was not the case with this recipe, and that's all to do with the powerful flavor of Jerk Seasoning. We hand blend coconut sugar, onion, garlic, paprika, allspice, and more to create this unique and iconic blend. This classic spicy Jamaican blend adds a ton of flavor to otherwise boring chicken breast, and the creamy Greek Yogurt sauce on top plus your favorite sweet salsa is a delicious combination. We ate this last weekend for dinner, wanting to eat healthy after a weekend of fried food, and it was (literally) finger-licking good. We've never been to Jamaica, but this recipe will help pass the time until we can try more from this delicious cuisine. Give it a try!
Recipe Box-Stewed Pork Shoulder with Cumin, Chipotle, and Ancho Chiles Recipe-SKORDO-

Stewed Pork Shoulder with Cumin, Chipotle, and Ancho Chiles

This hearty one pot meal is something that belongs at everyone's table. Fitting that it comes from Everyone's Table by Greggory Gourdet. After a drunken car crash, and decades of tearing down his body with work and recreation, Greggory "took stock of his body and decided to start caring for it instead" He did this by exploring new forms of exercises and different styles of diets until he found the balance. He refers to this book as "a reflection of the food he cooks for his friends and for himself", it has become an incredible variety of fulfilling foods, that you wouldn't immediately recognize as carefully formulated + nutritionally balanced. He describes the women in his family as "each having a fragrance", and recalls dishes reflective of each of them. This love, and these depths of flavors, carry over throughout the book, with Haitian influence. It was hard to choose where to start, but with a rainy day ahead of me, I went for the stewed pork, using some of SKORDO's dried chiles.

Orzo Salad with Grilled Vegetables + Greek Seasoning

Our Greek Seasoning is the perfect compliment to your favorite veggies from the garden.  This salad has become our go-to for a simple and delicious side for a group as it works well with veggies that are grilled or roasted and can be served warm or room temperature.  Make the components ahead of time and toss together prior to serving.  Serves 10 and leftovers keep well in the fridge.

Spicy Sautéed Shiitakes

This recipe from Vegetable Simple by Eric Ripert is a great staple to have on hand for snacks or sides. From start to finish it truly only takes 5 minutes! I used dried mushrooms, and finished with SKORDO Sriracha Sea Salt + SKORDO Herbes de Provence, these are all pantry staples for me so this was perfect.
