Tsire Spice (No peanuts)

Tsire Spice Mix is a sweet, spicy, warming and aromatic blend of roasted nuts and seeds. Used in traditional West African cuisine, where spices aren't as prominent compared to North African cuisine. Cooks commonly use spices and herbs like ginger, coriander, and thyme sparingly, but in a way that always compliments the meal. Our Tsire spice blend is a finely ground spice mix of six sensational spices. I can describe this mixture as sweet and spicy, with the cinnamon providing the warm & sweet aroma and the cayenne providing the fruity and tangy contrast. Besides, cloves offer a fruity note, nutmeg for a little camphor, and ginger for an exquisite lemon component.

Chili peppers are immensely loved and used in West Africa, powdered form; particularly in the more humid lands of the region.

This simple, but flavorful, ours is NOT peanut based, spice mixture is used as a coating for kebabs throughout West Africa. The raw meat or poultry is dipped first in oil or beaten egg and then in the spice.

A little Tsire is sprinkled over the cooked meat before serving. It can be used on larger cuts of meat that are grilled TOO. 

Tsire also fits in braised dishes or dips for vegetable sticks. I like it on short-fried steak, which I cut into strips and then serve with salad in bread as a kebab with a yogurt dressing mixed with tsire tastes fresh, aromatic, spicy with the right spiciness.

Tsire spice is a fantastic rub, perfect for grilling, baking, deep–frying or roasting. Used in traditional recipes such as "Egusi soup" or a peanut stew it uses subtle flavors to pack an enormous flavor punch! Or even try it mixed with olive oil or yogurt for dipping breads and crackers. A unique spice you have to try!
