Chef Josh Berry's Urfa Pepper Aioli
Another stunning recipe from Chef Josh Berry from his December 9th Secret Supper evening. Urfa, a Turkish chile pepper with a raison flavor and lovely heat, is one of the most popular chef picks from our chiles collection. He served it with delicata squash - you can pair this spread with anything from fried vegetables to sandwiches and tacos.

Cranberry Bundt Cake
The best desserts for hosting, especially around the holidays, are ones that function as decor throughout the day as well. Of course you can choose to bake this in a loaf pan or traditional cake pan, but as a bundt it looks like a beautiful edible wreath! This glazed cake will remain moist at room temperature for at least 3 days so it’s an easy one to check off your to do list in advance. Tart fresh cranberries and zesty orange flavor balance the rich warm spices of SKORDO Masala Chai so nicely.
Leftover Ham or Turkey Eggs Benedict
For many, the best part of holiday dinners is the leftover meals the next day. Hollandaise is not as scary as it seems, and eggs benedict is a fantastic way to use leftover Ham or Turkey! You can make this recipe your own by using your favorite SKORDO Blend to season the sauce, I chose SKORDO Cajun Blackening Seasoning today but have loved SKORDO Harissa Spice Blend and SKORDO Berbere for it in the past. There are techniques all over the internet of blender or microwave variations, below you’ll find a classic method for the stovetop. I reach for this one since you’ll need the simmering pot for poached eggs anyway!

Mashed Potatoes with Fore Street Blend
A staple side dish that can turn out dozens of ways! If you choose the right tools, pick the right potatoes, and use a delicious SKORDO blend, you’re bound for success. Yukon Gold or Russet Potatoes will yield a creamy, not waxy, mashed. Using a ricer or potato masher will result in a fluffy mashed that is not gummy from overwhipping. In previous years we’ve reached for roasted garlic or fresh chives, but this year we’ve launched SKORDO Fore St Blend (Salt, Shallots, Green Peppercorns, Onion, Garlic, Chives) and now it’s all we need!
Parker House Rolls, Two Ways
This is a classic lovable dinner roll recipe, made seasonal by forming fun shapes and flavored with seasoned butter. Make it your own by swapping out your favorite SKORDO blend into the butters and play around with different shapes! I used herby SKORDO Greek Seasoning on my “turkey” rolls and SKORDO Chipotle Maple on my “pumpkin” rolls for a little orange hue and warm, spiced flavor. These rolls are so delicious because they are brushed with butter multiple times throughout the process, so don’t hold back! You can choose to make these all in one day, or set them in the fridge overnight if you’re not rushed. Have fun with it!
