So much goodness in one bowl, Egyptian Summer brings it home with its exotic flavours and touch of heat.
Roasted vegetables charring on a sheet pan before added to the top of fluffy quinoa then topped with feta and a sweet lemon vinaigrette. Leftovers encouraged as it only gets a little better over the next couple days.
This is a great combination, but you can play around with the vegetables - just keep in mind some of the cook times may change.
4
Dinner
5 market carrots, peeled and cut in half length wise
1/4 cup olive oil
2-3 tbsp Egyptian Summer
1/2 cup pancetta (optional)
2 cups Quinoa, rinsed
1 cup feta, crumbled (have more handy if desired)
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbsp worchestershire
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp salt (or more to taste)
Preheat oven to 425 F
On a large sheet pan, add the carrots, chickpeas, Egyptian Summer spice blend and olive oil and toss together. Roast for 25 minutes.
In a medium pot, cook the quinoa following the package instructions. Cover to keep warm and set aside.
Pull out the sheet pan after the 25 minutes and add the pancetta and asparagus. Toss and roast for another 25 minutes or until vegetables are starting to char.
Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette. Whisk all the ingredients together in a medium bowl and set aside.
Assemble the quinoa bowls; fill a bowl with quinoa, then roasted veggies, feta and dressing.
Enjoy!
Should be in more stores, Superstore, Sobeys are missing a bet here.
There are meals that I cook with it
That I like
Very much.
Miam!
I got one jar of this, and didn't know what to do with it. It was Taco Tuesday, so I decided to try to miss it while making the beef.
I would have to say that it ended up working, and I found my tacos were enhanced.
Love, love, love Big Cove Foods spice blends.
They have amazing combinations for all kinds of flavours!
We used this combo to try out blends new to us and we've enjoyed every one so far!
My cousin and her husband came to visit me in Dominica West Indies. They brought along Egyptian summer and hot jerk spices from.Big Cove Foods!!! The taste sensation just blew my mind. I made a stirfry of chicken with vegetables using the Egyptian summer. The flavor was sensational. I used the hot jerk on some locally caught fresh mahi-mahi. It was absolutely extraordinary. I have a friend who’s coming to visit me in August and I’m hoping that she will be able to bring me a few of the others as well. I am hooked line and sinker. All the best with your business. I highly recommend these spices.. 💕
These little boxes of spice varieties are great! I’m taking them to Ontario this week and will use them as the perfect little ‘hostess gifts’ I use Big Cove spices all the time. ‘Mary had a’ is my favourite. I use it on everything! (I don’t even like lamb so I definitely don’t just use it for that, lol!)
I repurchased this tasty blend when it was available again. I would say it's a medium heat so it's a nice option to have. We also enjoy the Ghost Taco blend but use it sparingly for that extra kick!
Travelled to Cape Breton ( Baddeck, where I was born and raised ) a couple of years ago and found these amazing spices. Been ordering ever since. Shipping to Toronto covered for an order big enough ( which we do ). Pick it up at the One of a Kind Show when we can. Use on meats and roasted veggies.
Sent an assortment to Yellowknife for a birthday gift. Getting happy reports back. I knew I would.
We missed this blend. It’s been a staple in our house for a number of years. Use it in stirfys and on pork.
Purchased at the OOAK show in TO. Love this blend and made the chicken/rice dish on the site. Making it on repeat!
My second time purchasing Ghost Taco and it’s unreal. Perfect amount of spice and no fillers like starch that a lot of other blends have. Great on chicken and beef.
On top of that my package got stuck with the Canada Post Strike and when they learned I was still waiting they sent me a brand new package through a different shipper. Amazing customer service guys, thanks!
What I love about these spices is that they may come individually packaged, but I still turn on a bit more wild, by mixing one package with another. Have you tried Taco Enhancer with Red Rub? Amazing
