There is nothing like having a quick and easy meal already prepared for you when you come home from work. This slow cooker (some might call this crock pots) special limited edition spice set was created by Sally M. of Kailua Kona, Hawaii. These are her favorite seasonings for the ultimate one pot meal.
Your six selections:
Sweet Basil - Wildly popular in American and Italian kitchens, basil can also be found in recipes from the Mediterranean (like pesto, which accentuates this spice). It blends exceptionally well with oregano in just about any tomato based sauce and it partners well with other seasonings, most notably garlic, lemon and thyme. This imported sweet basil is harvested in Egypt and its taste is a little bit mintier than either domestic Californian or French basil.
Italian Seasoning - This is our best selling herb blend which is a classic mixture of the Mediterranean herbs of Basil, Oregano, Marjoram, Rosemary, Thyme and Sage. Italian Seasoning will enhance just about any dish but it of course shines brightest with Italian dishes like spaghetti, lasagna and anything with marinara sauce.
Bay Leaf - Dried Bay, sometimes also referred to as Bay Herb, is a staple ingredient in French and Mediterranean dishes, including French bouillabaisse and bouquet garni. Bay Leaf also picks up tomato sauces, fish, meats, as well as bean and grain dishes. One or two bay leaves are typically enough flavoring for most dishes of six servings.
Ground Cumin - Cumin has a long history and is believed to have been used in Egypt almost 4,000 years ago. A very popular spice in countries that enjoy spicier foods Ground Cumin is a key element in dishes ranging from Tex-Mex chili, curry powders, masalas, mouth-watering spice mixes as well as vegetable and meat stews.
Cayenne Pepper - This ground cayenne pepper is a reddish orange in color and may be used in any recipe that calls for ground red pepper. This particular pepper comes in on the heat scale at about a 3.5 (on a scale of 10) but don’t let that lull you to sleep – we still recommend adding this spice to your dishes "one pinch at a time". This way you will be able to locate the ideal heat level for you.
Fennel Seeds - Fennel seeds have a lemony anise taste and are small, oval, and grooved. Fennel seeds quickly lose their flavor when ground so we recommend grinding the seeds in small batches for optimum flavor. In order to maximize its delicate flavor we recommend that you add fennel at the end of the cooking process.
