6 Easy Ways to Use Shemin’s Spice Blends
Shemin’s Spice Blends are one of the easiest ways to add big flavour to everyday cooking.
You don’t need a complicated recipe or a long list of ingredients. One blend can be used in lots of different ways, from quick marinades and BBQ food to roasted vegetables, pasta, curries, salads and simple midweek meals.
Here are six easy ways to use Shemin’s Spice Blends at home.
1. Use as a Marinade
Mix your spice blend with a little oil, then add garlic, ginger, lemon juice or yoghurt for extra flavour.
This works beautifully with chicken, fish, prawns, halloumi or vegetables. Leave it to marinate if you have time, or cook straight away when you need something quick.
2. Create a Quick Curry Base
Mix your chosen spice blend with oil to create a quick cooking paste.
Fry it gently for a couple of minutes, then add your ingredients and chopped tomatoes to make a simple homemade curry style dish. You can use meat, fish, vegetables, lentils, beans or chickpeas depending on what you have in the kitchen.
3. Sprinkle Over Finished Dishes
A little sprinkle can make a big difference.
Try adding your spice blend to roasted vegetables, potatoes, fries, eggs, soups, salads, rice or couscous. It is a simple way to lift flavour without making a full recipe.
4. Use as a Rub
Massage the spice blend directly onto meat, fish or vegetables before roasting, grilling or barbecuing.
You can use it dry, or mix it with a little oil first. This is especially good for steaks, chicken thighs, lamb, roasted veg, halloumi and BBQ food.
5. Stir Into Everyday Meals
Stir a spoonful into pasta, rice, couscous, dressings, mayonnaise, butter or yoghurt for instant flavour.
This is a brilliant shortcut for quick lunches, easy dinners, dips, sauces and side dishes.
6. Use on the BBQ
Shemin’s Spice Blends are perfect for summer cooking and BBQ food.
Use them to season chicken, steaks, burgers, prawns, vegetables, corn, halloumi and more. They add warmth, depth and flavour without needing lots of extra ingredients.
One Blend, So Many Possibilities
The best thing about Shemin’s Spice Blends is how flexible they are.
You can use them for quick weekday meals, weekend BBQs, family dinners, roasted vegetables, curries, dips, marinades and simple sides.
One blend really can go a long way.
