Middle Eastern

Shawarma spice, sumac, tahini, and lemon, on chicken, rice, and flatbread. The blends are written in measured spoons so the results taste intentional.

The first tested recipes are finishing now. The Mediterranean collection below overlaps heavily and is ready tonight.

Who it is for

Anyone who orders shawarma and hummus regularly and wants them at home. The spice blends keep for months in jars.

Nothing here yet

This collection is new and the tested recipes for it are still in the kitchen. Everything linked below is ready to cook tonight, and new recipes land here every week.

Questions cooks actually ask

What is in shawarma spice?

Cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, garlic, and a pinch of cayenne. Recipes list it so you can mix a jar once and use it for weeks.

Is tahini the same as peanut butter's role?

Functionally yes, sesame paste, thinned with lemon and water for sauces. It keeps in the fridge and the recipes give the exact thinning ratios.
