Fez

AROMATIC. EARTHY. MELLOW HEAT.

SEASON AS THEY DO IN MOROCCO.

We were inspired by Morocco's gastronomic and spiritual capital, Fez, when we came up with this blend. This is our interpretation of chermoula, a condiment that's at the heart of Moroccan cuisine, traditionally used to flavour fish and seafood. Fez also works wonders on all kinds of roasted vegetables, grains and pulses and will add a distinct Moroccan vibe with plenty of oomph! 

Flavours

We've mixed roasted cumin and coriander seeds, the traditional base ingredients, with sweet paprika, a touch of chilli for a bit of heat, a dash of sumac to add some acidity and tart notes, sage for its green woody aromatics and a hint of black pepper and garlic for pungency. 

This blend is SALT FREE - you may wish to add sea salt to taste.

Great with

• Sensational as a rub for grilled white fish fillets or seafood - just mix a few table spoons of FEZ with some olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt to taste and toss a few chopped herbs such as lemon thyme to make a lovely marinade. Then brush on the fish to coat on all sides before grilling or roasting.
• Use as a marinade for grilled chicken with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Scatter a few teaspoons over roasted veggies (pairs well with root vegetables, eggplant or capsicum). Drizzle some olive oil and salt to taste before sliding into the oven.
• For a distinct Moroccan flair, add a couple of teaspoons to tagines (slow-cooked North African meat or vegetable stews), rice or couscous during cooking.
