Roasted Spice Mix
What sets this blend apart is the roasting. Each of the five spices — coriander, garlic, golden sesame, cumin, and fenugreek — is roasted separately by hand at a constant temperature without any added fat. The time and temperature are adjusted for each spice individually, according to its size, moisture content, and the flavour being drawn out. Roasting transforms the character of spices in a way that toasting at home rarely achieves: it deepens coriander's citrus notes into something warmer and nuttier, rounds out the sharpness of raw cumin, brings a caramel sweetness to the sesame, and softens fenugreek's bitterness into a gentle, maple-like warmth. The result is a blend with toasted, almost confectionery aromatics — caramel, hazelnut, warm bread — that sits somewhere between savoury and sweet.
The mix is deliberately versatile. Sprinkle over avocado on toast for an instant upgrade. Stir into tomato soup or a chilli con carne for a warm, roasted depth. Scatter over crunchy roasted vegetables or a tomato carpaccio. Use as a rub on lamb, chicken, or pork before roasting or grilling. Mix into fleur de sel for an all-purpose finishing salt with genuine complexity. The roasted character means the spices do not need further cooking to taste good — they work as well as a finishing seasoning as they do cooked into a dish.
