Flavor and aromatic character
This blend is designed for grilled meats, with an aromatic character that pairs particularly well with kontosouvli. Its intensity varies depending on the amount used, the type of recipe, and the cooking method. Heat, liquids, and fats help release the aromatic elements, so the result may differ in a marinade, sauce, casserole, pan, or oven.
How to use
It pairs well with pork or other meat for kontosouvli, grilling, oven cooking, and marinades. Start with a small amount, mix well, and taste before adding more. For marinades, it can be mixed with olive oil, lemon, yogurt, or another suitable liquid. In sauces and stews, add it gradually so it blends in evenly.
Suggested amount
The ideal amount depends on the dish and personal preference. For your first use, it is best to start conservatively. A spice blend can easily be boosted with a second small addition, while an excessive amount is harder to correct. When preparing a large quantity of food, make sure to mix well.
Cooking ideas
It pairs well with pork or other meat for kontosouvli, grilling, oven cooking, and marinades. You can also try a small amount on potatoes, vegetables, rice, or side sauces, provided the product's character suits the recipe. Mixing it with a little oil before cooking helps it coat the food better and distribute the aromas evenly.
Pairings
Depending on how it is used, it can be combined with olive oil, lemon, vinegar, tomato, onion, garlic, and fresh herbs. When using a complex blend, add other strong spices sparingly so the finished dish remains balanced and does not become too heavy.
Using with heat
Ground spices release their aroma quickly when heated. If sautéing them, use medium heat and cook briefly to prevent them from burning or turning bitter. In the oven or on the grill, a little oil or other moisture helps the product stay on the surface of the food and release its flavor more evenly.
Form and natural appearance
The product comes in a form suitable for immediate use in cooking. Since spices and herbs are natural raw materials, there may be slight variations in color, texture, or aroma intensity from batch to batch. For blends with different particle sizes, a light stir before use helps ensure an even mix.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry, dark place, away from moisture, direct sunlight, steam, and heat sources. Close the package tightly after each use. Use a clean, dry spoon and do not leave the product open next to steaming pots.
