Okay I Bought These. Now What?

Today in Mobile Alabama I found a grocery store/cafe named "Spice" . It said that it specialized in spices and foods from Mediterranean countries but looking inside it seemed to specialize in foods from Islamic countries except for having baklava. They even had halal lamb and goat two days a week by special order. Anyhow, any ideas what to do with these two spice blends?

Zatar is a blend of seeds and spices often applied to flatbread. I suggest you make some fresh flatbread, slather it with some olive oil and lay on the Zatar.

Tagine with the top one - google will give you lots of good ideas, and you don’t need an actual tagine cooker to get started. Pretty straightforward.
I love zatar, all spellings of it. @The Cen-Tex Smoker introduced that to me. I use it on lots of different things, but if that one is hot, I would try it on wings.THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER -

If you ever pass through NOLA, this is a great store that specializes in spices. You can buy the more common spices in small containers or by the drum.

I've used Seven Spice as a substitute for Baharat when making Koshari Good comfort food.

I had a molar removed 10 days ago. Flatbread is real iffy until the implant gets installed next year. Thanks for the idea though.

Thanks, I go to N.O. every month or two but usually just to the Quarter. Mobile is a bit less than half the distance. I originally was looking for Beberrie(spelling) paste but I ended up grabbing a couple of things at random. Thanks for the link though and sometime in 2019 I will give it a try.nolaegghead said:If you ever pass through NOLA, this is a great store that specializes in spices.

Thanks, I had a nice crop of sweet potatoes this year and this seems like a good use. I did come up with a great mashed sweet potato recipe but no Egg was involved.nolaegghead said: -
Zatar is great to season a tomato, cucumber, and red onion salad.
One of our favorite things to do with ras el hanout is to season butternut squash or peeled and chopped sweet potato, then roast until tender.LBGE

heck, I'm pulling some chicken out of the freezer right now. Found some spice (just got the blender today).

Question my friend. Was the name of the store 7Spice on Airport Boulevard?Gulfcoastguy said:Today in Mobile Alabama I found a grocery store/cafe named "Spice" .Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

It was on Airport Boulevard. I didn’t notice the 7 but it was indeed possible. Not far from Arby’s but on the North side of the boulevard.SGH said:

You could look up traditional recipes, or just use it as any other spice blend and experiment.
1. Chicken "curry" - make sofrito with onion, garlic, ginger sauteed in oil or ghee. Add a small tomato, if you like. Then add 2 lbs skinless, bone-in chicken (thighs, drumsticks, whatever) and brown. Add water to make a sauce and cook until chicken is done.
2. Use as a rub when grilling chicken or other proteins. I bet it would taste good on grilled eggplant too.
Lots of other possibilities

It was nice. Many many spices and foods that I don’t know but that is what I was looking for.SGH said:

No but I decided not to ask if it would be good on pork. They also had a huge selection of hookahs and assorted smokables. Again I didn’t check if hashish was one of them.thetrim said:Did you register w Homeland Security? -
I also spent some time at Academy Sports. I helped a woman select some rub for her husbands Christmas. Poor guy has a Traeger so they needed the help . I also told her how to order Meat Church and DP and to use Amazon Prime.

I've not had "hot" za'atar, but I'm going to guess it has Aleppo pepper, or something similar in it. Kind of like hot paprika. The standard use is for dipping oiled pita into it. I've used it as a topping for Indian parathas that I gave a coat of ghee when I flipped them, and then dusted w. za'atar.Ras-al-hanout means "top of the shop, " and varies from vendor to vendor, but contains a blend of the best they have. Typically very complex, good w. bland stuff like couscous or lentils. But will also stand up to stronger flavors. I'll be using some in a lamb and chickpea stew tonight.

zataar, i see it most on syrian breads, theres several syrian bakeries near me. doesnt have to be syrian bread, works on butter fried toast and really good on garlic bread. use it on lamb, grilled pork chops, grilled veggie skewers. some have sumac some dont, the ones with sumac taste better to me.
fukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it -
It has sumac.

I just checked and lamb chops were $18 a pound. So I bought chicken thighs. Do you imagine skin on or off? It looks like I will have to oil and salt them. I will put them on in a couple of hours.
