The Recipe Box
Mexican Mole Chicken Enchiladas
Mexican food has always been in my comfort zone. I can whip up a batch of margaritas, guacamole, and pico de gallo in my sleep. We have tacos once a week, and nachos are 100% adequate for lunch. There's one dish I always order out at restaurants and never make at home... Mole Enchiladas.
Vietnamese Rub Spatchcock Chicken
Now's as good a time as any to let you all in on a little secret: Whole chickens are my weakness. I love them so much. Especially when they're roasted. Even more when they're split and grilled! This recipe can be finished either way, but there's something about low and slow grilling that really lets a chicken shine!
The blend's lemongrass and coriander are bright contrasts to the soy sauce and the red pepper flakes balance the marinade with just enough heat. Enjoy!
Korean Barbecue Roasted Cashews
The sweet, smooth cashews effortlessly take on the salty, spicy and sweet Korean Barbecue Rub. The nuts make a great addition to rice bowls (talk about texture!) and are a perfect midday snack. The roasted cashews store for up to a week in a sealed container.
Poached Pear Galette with Posy Salted Crust
Posy salt, we’ve been waiting for you! My initial thoughts for this blend were all cocktails and grilled savory snacks; but I wanted to explore the sweet possibilities to show how versatile this can be! Chocolate seemed like the simple route and with Sister Pie as our Cookbook of the Month-- a galette seemed like the right choice! This recipe has more steps than the ones I usually share but please trust the process as it all flows nicely.
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!
French Toast with Posy Sugar
I’ve never been a fan of flowers, gifting or receiving, but floral sugar is certainly something I can get behind. All the smells, all the beautiful colors, no watering or responsibilities. This blend of hibiscus, rose, and lavender is so stunning- I just want to sprinkle it on everything. To start your morning on the right foot, I suggest a shimmer of Posy in your latte as you prepare this French Toast recipe. Simple, with a subtle touch of something special!
Cardamom + Pink Pepper Brownies
Full disclosure: I've never made brownies from scratch before. So, when these turned out to be reminiscent of the delicious professionally or box mix brownies I'm familiar with, it was already a win! Great recipe from Mastering Spice (not surprising - we've loved all the recipes we've made from this book). At first you taste the pink peppercorns then you get the green cardamom pods and a bit of the Urfa chile flakes. Delicious.
Rosemary Deviled Eggs
I love deviled eggs. I 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!

New year, New blends! Introducing your newest goal of 2021, trying out SKORDO's Paella Blend. This melody of paprikas, saffron, lemon zest, and more, allows even the most beginner cooks to enjoy a dish as intimidating as Paella, an iconic saffron rice dish loaded with meats, seafood, and vegetables. Plus, it's salt free, giving you all the control!
Karonis Family Greek Chicken (Chicken Kapama)
This flavorful chicken braise combines cinnamon with a hearty tomato sauce to create a comforting and aromatic Greek dish. Use some of the sauce to flavor some orzo and you’ve got a tasty side that nicely complements the chicken. And as a bonus, your kitchen will smell amazing!
Cava + Cranberry Pop
This year we're gifting our friends the perfect kick off for Christmas morning. It's bubbly, a little bit tart and of so festive!
Roasted Potatoes
We learned how to do these potatoes when we lived in the UK. The outside gets beautifully browned and crispy, while the inside stays fluffy.
