This month features the Burmese Flavor Kit! The spices included this month were Tea Leaves Rub, Lemongrass Yellow Curry, and Himalayan Pink Salt.
The kit includes glossy, illustrated recipe cards. Each spice is featured in at least one recipe. They include a list of ingredients to put on your shopping list, as well as instructions f0r preparing and plating the dish.
The instructions are very streamlined. They assume you know some kitchen basics, so the entire process fits on a single card. The Raw Spice Bar site has more recipes for your spices, including options for restricted diets.
Himalayan Pink Salt: No added colors in this product – the lovely hue and unique flavor is a product of the naturally occurring mineral profile found in the enormous salt deposits of the Himalayas. This course grind can be used to season dishes, but it excels as a lovely finishing salt for either sweet or savory dishes.
Tea Leaves Rub: This tea-based blend combines some of the signature flavors of the Burmese interior.
Big flakes of black teas are joined with spicy chiles and cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and Himalayan salt.
Lemongrass Yellow Curry: A gorgeous, vibrant blend of curry spices, including kaffir lime, cumin, coriander, galangal, and ginger.
You can see the large splints of lemongrass, and turmeric provides a brilliant golden color.
Raw Spice Bar spices are very high quality, and you couldn’t beat the freshness and potency of without grinding your own. The intensity of the fragrance always gets me, and the expert blending is evident – the mixes are well-balanced and project tons of flavor. I’m always impressed at how well the selections capture the essence of a region and its cuisine – Raw Spice Bar has featured several Southeast Asian countries, but they have taken pains to differentiate the spice blends, creating authentic flavor profiles unique to the featured cuisine.
