What is Tsire Spice?
This finely ground spice blend brings together six carefully selected ingredients. Sweet cinnamon meets the fruity heat of cayenne pepper, while cloves add depth and nutmeg provides a warming note. Ginger contributes a fresh, slightly lemony touch, creating a rich and balanced blend.
The taste of West African cuisine
In West Africa, spice blends like this one are commonly used in everyday cooking. One traditional use is in peanut-coated kebabs, where ground peanuts are combined with spices to form a flavorful marinade. Once grilled, the meat develops a wonderfully aromatic, crispy crust.
Culinary uses
To prepare a classic marinade, mix one teaspoon of this spice blend with four tablespoons of ground peanuts and four tablespoons of oil. Use the paste to coat chicken or beef, let it marinate, and then grill or roast as desired.
You can also stir the blend into yogurt or dips, use it to flavor pan-fried meats, or mix it into sauces for stews and braised dishes. One of our favorite quick ideas: thinly slice grilled steak, season with the blend, and serve in flatbread with salad and a yogurt-based sauce.
