It's National Herbs and Spices Day!
To celebrate, we of the Bazaar Spices team are highlighting our favorite herbs and spices. And be sure to stop by the shop today - the first 10 customers will receive a little gift!
Monica's favorite: Chana masala blend - it's great on chickpeas and lentils, and I really love adding it to curried chickpeas.
Ivan's favorite: It's too hard to choose! I like the lemon and dill blend sprinkled on salads, and the Quebec steak seasoning is my go-to rub for steaks, but my favorite (for now) is Cinnamon Korintje, used to make cinnamon buns.
Sara's favorite: Za'atar. I use it on everything - I put it over my toast with a little oil, and it's really easy to just sprinkle over vegetables before baking. The first time I used za'atar, I made this recipe for roasted za'atar eggplant bowls.
Kara's favorite: Nigella seeds. They're a little bitter, and taste like nothing I've had before. I put them on roasted vegetables, on crackers, in salad dressings...or anywhere!
Need more reasons to use herbs and spices every day? Check out these articles from NPR about the potential health benefits of za'atar, turmeric, and cinnamon, and get inspired by this slideshow of 25 herbs and spices for your health from Huffington Post.
Happy Herb and Spice Day!
