I always have enjoyed cooking food from other cultures.  I get bored easily when I make the same recipe over and over, so I like to experiment and try new things.  When I am looking for a new recipe I tend to go gravitate towards Asian foods, but there are many other cuisines to try out also. So when I got the chance to review a spice mix from DedeMed’s Mediterranean Foods I decided it was a great chance to try something new and different.

DedeMed's Mediterranean Foods spices

I decided to review the Seven Spice blend. This is used in a large number of Mediterranean dishes. It encompasses 7 different spices including cardamon, allspice and nutmeg.  When I smelled the jar the predominate smell was cardamon.  DedeMed has a nice selection of recipes on their website. I wish they also included a links with which recipes use which spice blend, since I had a hard time figuring out which recipes used Seven Spice as opposed to some of their other spice blends.  I ended up making a modified of a Lebanese Beef Stew with Spinach.

Lebanese Beef Stew with SpinachThe dish was very good, and my 11 year old son especially enjoyed it and asked for seconds, which isn’t that common when the dish involves a lot of spinach. I mixed the rice in for the last 10 minutes since I had left over cooked rice from another meal, but you could leave that step out and just make rice to serve the stew over.
