Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Chili Aioli, Avocado, and Pickled Chilis

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Chili Aioli, Avocado, and Pickled Chilis

We had so much fun partnering with Chef Mike Kubiesa (co-author with Kristin Cavallari of True Comfort and True Roots) on this recipe. Our favorite thing about it? It's restaurant-quality but so doable for home cooks. He used both SKORDO Steak Seasoning and SKORDO Lemon Herb Fish Seasoning in the dish. To quote Mike, "this looks fancier than it is! I know it's a struggle for a lot of people to get quick and healthy meals out for them or their families on a nightly basis - trust me, I get it! My goal is to help you with that." Love it.
Crispy Tofu + Broccoli | Garlic Pepper

Crispy Tofu + Broccoli | Garlic Pepper

Crispy, Sticky, Garlic-y. This vegetarian friendly meal is quick and simple, while packing a ton of flavor. Make this one your own by swapping in your favorite vegetables, or serving with noodles instead of rice. Our new Garlic Pepper seasoning is salt-free, making it perfect for asian dishes that use a lot of soy sauce. 
Baked Feta with Oregano, Thyme, + Rosemary

Baked Feta with Oregano, Thyme, + Rosemary

This is a delicious recipe combining the briny, salty flavors of feta with mediterranean herbs and, in our case, sun-dried tomatoes and mixed Greek olives. If you don't like olives or sun-dried tomatoes, try roasting with tomatoes instead. Delicious!

Citrus Salad with Fennel Pollen

Citrus Salad with Fennel Pollen

Hellllloooo new ingredient! Fennel Pollen is here + ready to play! Unfamiliar with fennel pollen? We've got it all covered in this blog post- what it is, what it's like, where it comes from + more. With such a beautiful, delicate ingredient it is important to give it the spot light. Here we made a bright, springy salad that essentially dresses itself between bites with the blood oranges. It makes a great mid-day snack or an impressive appetizer ((especially with this AE Ceramics Oyster plate!)

Harissa Hummus (+ Hummus Base Recipe)

Harissa Hummus (+ Hummus Base Recipe)

The addition of Harissa to the hummus creates both a tasty and healthy dish.  Use this on pita bread or as a side with other classic Middle Eastern dishes.  The fresh flavor, coupled with the subtle heat of the Harrisa, will make it the star of the meal.
Pizza Sauce-SKORDO

Pizza Sauce

SKORDO Pizza Sauce Blend is a prime example of our blends + rubs doing all of the work for you. This is our family sauce recipe after years of trial and error! Use it on pizza or pasta, it'll always be delicious.  

Buckwheat, Carrot, Parsnip and Leek Salad with Tahini Poppy Dressing

Buckwheat, Carrot, Parsnip and Leek Salad with Tahini Poppy Dressing

It’s always a running joke in my family that if I am at the dinner table the amount of veggies need to be doubled.  Needless to say I was super excited when my sister and SKORDO co-founder Annie showed me that Sister Pie had a whole section on salads!  This Buckwheat, carrot, parsnip and leek salad was no disappointment!
Adobo Cheese Dip-SKORDO

Adobo Cheese Dip

I never know who's playing, but I always know I will be making fresh pretzels. They only take a few hours, can be prepped in advance, and are perfect for dunking in this warm cheesy goodness. Our Adobo Seasoning is Salt, Sweet Paprika, Onion, Black Pepper, Cumin, Garlic, Chile Powder, Mexican Oregano -- AKA the perfect seasoning to add a flavorful kick to this dip. Using arrowroot to thicken, you have the freedom to use any milk or milk alternative you'd like and you're keeping it gluten-free (sans the pretzels of course!)

Tea Party!

Between dry January and a frigid winter, I have been reaching towards a mug of tea at least two times a day. While we rarely carry teas in the shops, we do always have our collection of herbs + spices that can be quickly steeped into a flavorful tea. Whether you enjoy these recipes as is, or use them to upgrade a basic black tea, they're certain to warm you up. 
Infused Sugar Scones-SKORDO

Infused Sugar Scones

Is there anything better than fresh out of the oven scones? This recipe is a great base dough that allows for endless personalization. I made a quick batch last night and am looking forward to baking a set with different flavors on Sunday. 
Rosemary Deviled Eggs

Rosemary Deviled Eggs

I love deviled eggs. order them whenever I see them on a restaurant menu. Invite me to a potluck and I'm probably bringing deviled eggs. I recently came across this recipe in Eating Well Magazine and when I saw it was written by Lior Lev Sercarz (Author of Mastering Spice and Spice Companion), I knew it'd be a good one. Not only were they good, these are easily the best deviled eggs I've ever had. Just try them - you won't regret it!
Winter Salad with Balsamic Dressing

Winter Salad with Balsamic Dressing

In my opinion, salads are only as good as their dressing. Texture falls very close behind, so let's chat there first. Knowing that this is a balsamic base, I'm expecting a little sweetness to balance the sourness. To cater to this, I added maple syrup to the dressing and carried that flavor over to the toppings by way of SKORDO Sugar Hut Pepper. What loves Sugar Hut Pepper? Sweet Potatoes. What loves Sweet Potatoes? Brussel Sprouts. I played this game around the produce aisle until I felt ready to salad because I am not a salad girl and need to carry some excitement through the whole experience haha. However, this is a very adaptable salad and could absolutely be a quick way to elevate some leftovers.
