RawSpiceBar Box March 2016 box

This month, Raw Spice Bar visits a land where cuisine is hearty and exotic — Afghanistan.  RawSpiceBar is a monthly spice blend subscription. Every month for $6 you’ll receive small batch, freshly ground spice blends by top chefs for home cooks, plus recipes to create authentic cuisine with the spices. They are launching the shop soon to buy more of your favorite spices!  I really look forward to seeing their inventory — the subscription picks have been great, and I want to see their whole catalogue of blends.

Each themed monthly installment comes with three spice selections, a recipe featuring each spice, and welcome card introducing the featured cuisine. Each spice pack describes the component spices, as well as giving some typical applications should you want to experiment with your own recipes.

This month was an Afghan theme!  The spices included this month were (R to L) Saffron Threads, Afghan Pulao Spices, and Afghan Lamb Rub!

The intro card tells a bit about the recipes and food culture of the featured theme.  RawSpiceBar also includes vegetarian recipes on their site. You provide the fresh ingredients and staple items for the included recipes.  This month’s card announced RSB’s partnering with veteran-owned Rumi Spice to obtain locally sourced ingredients from Afghanistan.

Saffron Threads:  Famous for being the most expensive spice in the world, saffron imparts a lovely color and fragrance to dishes.  RSB provided a tea recipe that lets you get the most out of this treasured ingredient, savoring its flavor and beauty without distraction.

Afghan Pulao Spices:  Pulao is the national dish of Afghanistan, comprising savory and sweet rice baked with fruits, nuts, and vegetables into a crusty casserole.  This blend accents the sweet and exotic flavors of the dish, featuring the beautifully intense flavor of green cardamom.

Afghan Lamb Rub:  Classic Middle Eastern flavors come together in this rub.  Bold cumin and coriander provide a lovely flavor, with some green cardamom added to balance the gaminess of lamb.

You couldn’t beat Raw Spice Bar for freshness and potency of spices without grinding your own.  I love receiving the packs of spices and breathing in the aroma — they always vibrant and blended into beautifully balanced medleys.  The recipes are great suggestions for using unfamiliar combinations of spices, but the spices will inspire you to experiment.
