Black Truffle Mac + Cheese
SKORDO Black Truffle Sea Salt is a perfect addition to any dish you want to elevate or make feel indulgent. It provides that umami flavor, where you aren't exactly sure what you're tasting but you're into it. This mac + cheese is the perfect intro to playing with truffle salt, it takes an already beloved dish and pushes it one step 'fungi-er' (funkier).
Maple Ginger Mule
We are always so excited to see what Runamok is coming up with. First the delicious infused maple syrups, then the Maple Old Fashioned Syrup, and now a Maple Ginger Mule?! This is a delicious addition to your holiday parties, a quick pour + top with club soda makes you a balanced cocktail, perfect for cheers-ing all season long.
Spiked Mulled Cider
Our Mulling Party! recipe kit is delicious anytime of year, but incredibly popular in these colder months. We truly can't keep it on the shelves, and love playing with new ways to use it. Last year we mulled wine, and used the remainder to poach pears for a galette. This time, we're simply mulling cider + adding bourbon for the grownups. I'd highly recommend welcoming your guests with a warm mug of this over the holidays!
Spicy Maple + Curried Squash Risotto
This recipe is adapted from top chef Sara Bradley, who developed it to share with the Taste Buds of Kalamata's Kitchen. Inspired by Kalamatas "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall Squash Risotto" tshirt (that I am obsessed with!) this risotto hits the spot this time of year. It was such a joy to incorporate SKORDO flavors in an already incredible dish.
Bat Forest Cake
If I'm going to have a chocolate cake, I'm going to make sure there's Amarena Cherries nearby. A decadent cake, sweet soaked cherries, and light whipped cream is all you need for a classic Black Forest Cake. In this rendition, I took the theme a bit further by using SKORDO Black Cocoa Powder to really deepen the color as well as flavor. And since we are heading towards Halloween, I added some paper bats to the top and dramatically drizzled extra cherry syrup around the cake, declaring it a Bat Forest Cake.
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
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
"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
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!
