SpiceBreeze September 2017

Now on to the items! This month’s box included 8 individual spices, 2 per recipe. Compared to last month, I found these recipes to be a little more unique and involved, so I made a few modifications to fit my diet and schedule. SpiceBreeze often includes recipe modifications and suggestions to make the recipes vegetarian, weeknight-friendly, or kid-friendly, and I appreciate the thoughtful and useful suggestions.

Tibs Ethiopian Culinary Spice Kit

Tibs is a traditional Ethiopian dish consisting of meat and vegetables fried in seasoned butter and spices. SpiceBreeze recommends serving the dish with a side of cottage cheese to balance the heat of the spice blend.

The Tibs culinary spice kit ingredients include: Cardamom, cumin, nigella, fenugreek, cayenne, coriander, rue, garlic, onion, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, ginger, long pepper, and basil.

Rendang Indonesian Culinary Spice Kit

Rendang is a traditional Indonesian comfort food consisting of meat that has been slow cooked in coconut milk and spices for hours until completely tender and packed with flavor. According to SpiceBreeze, this dish has been rated one of the most delicious meals in the world (voted by CNN readers).

The Rendang culinary spice kit ingredients include: Lemongrass, galangal, makrut lime leaves, coriander, turmeric, and red chili flakes.

Rokt med Pepparrotssas Swedish Culinary Spice Kit

Pepparrotssas is a traditional Scandinavian horseradish sauce often paired with smoked fish, beef, or vegetables. Horseradish and dill are often commonly paired with fish, and I love that this dish is both familiar and unique in its preparation.

The Pepparrotssas culinary spike kit includes horseradish and organic dill weed.

Rougail La Reunion Culinary Spice Kit

Rougail is one of the most well-known specialties from the cultural melting pot of La Reunion. The dish is described as a spicy, fragrant curry made from smoked sausages.

The Rougail culinary spice kit ingredients include: Thyme, turmeric, bay leaves, and makrut lime leaves

This month I recreated the recipes for Rendang and Rougail, but substituted both with vegetables instead of animal protein.

Using the Rougail spike kit, I sautéed broccoli, cauliflower rainbow carrots, and Brussels sprouts in olive oil and salt & pepper until slightly softened. I added a small splash of broth and mixed in some of the spice blend. After I plated the vegetables, I sprinkled the top with the powdered makrut lime leaves.

SpiceBreeze September 2017

Using the Rendang spice kit, I sautéed finely chopped garlic in a combination of coconut and olive oil until softened. Instead of beef, SpiceBreeze suggested substituting zucchini, so I added sliced zucchini, eggplant, and red peppers to the pan. (I first roasted the sliced vegetables in the oven to get them slightly charred on the outside and soften them up so they wouldn’t need as much time on the stove). Once the vegetables were softened to my liking, I added a splash of broth and mixed in the spice blend. Once plated, I sprinkled the top with the included red chili flakes for some added heat.

Verdict: I really enjoyed this month’s spice kits! Last month I followed the recipes as they were, but this month I made several substitutions and the dishes still turned out great! Aside from the spices themselves, I’m always so impressed with the thoughtful, creative recipes included in the box. I love to cook and do it all the time, but I consistently find these recipes to be new and exciting, while still simple enough to prepare on a weeknight.

SpiceBreeze is more budget-friendly than buying premium, authentic spices from a specialty store, and the added recipe cards add value and save time otherwise spent browsing online for dinner ideas. This box is a winner for me!

The dishes look super tasty! Can anyone tell me how much food each of the kits makes? I can’t find on their website if a kit is intended for just two people or if there is enough spice to cook for more.

Hi K, each recipe spice kit is designed for one dish for 3 to 4 people. Hope this helps.

I signed up for this box in early September. They accepted my payment. I never received anything from them. I have written them a few times, and they never responded. Ugh. I just wrote to them again. Doubt I will hear anything.

I should say that these folks contacted me this evening and said that I never responded to their request to send my order to me. That is simply not true. They did not. Ever. I checked my spam filter and everything. They did not. There is no reason for their response as such; my order clearly stated my shipping address.

It has been nearly two months. They did not respond. And they tried to push it on me. I would not recommend this box to anyone. I have been a long-time subscriber to this site. This is the first time that I have been burned by a box. I would not recommend.
