Advieh

Persian and Iranian cuisine is one of the worlds most venerable, loved for centuries for the same reasons that Mediterranean and Indian cuisines are so popular in the western world today. Dishes effortlessly combine sweet and savory, with warm toasted spices, nuts, and dried fruits alongside lamb and braised poultry. Our version of Advieh, the region's signature spice blend, is an exotic combination of multiple varietals of sweet cinnamon, cardamom seed, and roses, grounded by the earthiness of cumin and black pepper, finished with a bright pop of Indian coriander. Use Advieh to season a roasted leg of lamb, traditional kebabs, meatballs, or to perfume rice pilafs. You can also try it in baking with it as a substitute for cinnamon in any of your favorite recipes. Fig Preserves are a welcome seasonal treat served with Dukkah-encrusted goat cheese and crostini or alongside roasted meats.
