Herbies Spices Recipes
Red Meat
When we visited Morocco, our Moroccan contact smelled our Berbere spice mix and said, "Ahhh, it takes me back to my grandmother's kitchen!" This recipe is for him, and for his grandmother, although they would use smen, or aged butter, instead of the butter we use.
A really good steak doesn't need much imbellishment. The Bushman's Pepper Pot Mix is just a step further than salt and pepper, and makes use of some of Australia's own locally-grown herbs, spices and salt.
This is a steak sandwich tour de force, with a great cut of steak matched with the best flavours. It's a meal in a bun!
This is an easy family meal all wrapped up in a tortilla. Simple and quick to prepare, and guaranteed to get your kids eating their veges and greens as they build their own tasty burrito.
This is one of our favourite curries. Everyone loves the little extra crunch and texture that comes from the whole mustard and cumin seeds and chilli flakes in the Curry Mix. As it contains no fenugreek seed (common to many curry powders), the aroma and flavour is full and generous, with no bitterness.
Slow-cooked meat with beans and green vegetables, and a tang of lime. This traditional Persian dish is a complete, delicious meal.
Everyone loves food on a stick, so these kebabs are pre-destined to go down well. If the skewer suggests success, the spices guarantee it. These simple kebabs can be prepared in advance, and you can even freeze them once they are assembled if you wish.
This delicious beef rendang is surprisingly simple to make. The addition of ground long pepper gives it an authentic flavour. It's a great way to take yourself to Indonesia without using your passport!

Here's a simple recipe that even a bloke can manage! Use either of the spice mixes suggested, or try Lamb Roast and BBQ Mix, or even Garlic Steak mix, for a tasty result.
This is a fairly mild curry from the northern part of India. Persian influences such as ground almonds and saffron show that it was originally a rich man's speciality, now a popular item on Indian take-away menus around the world.
This is the perfect mid-winter comfort food, rich and flavourful with root vegetables. Serve with cous cous for a complete meal.
The combination of two fabulous Herbie's Spices spice mixes makes a very special flavour in this easy, nutritious stir-fry.

Not for anyone with a nut allergy, but an absolute treat for everyone else, this medium-heat curry is rich with coconut and spices.
You've seen the movies with the cowboys sitting around the campfire eating from the saucepan? Well, this is what they're eating!
This boned leg of lamb makes a great luncheon barbecue for up to 8 people.
Serve these succulent morsels straight from the barbecue as finger-food, or as a meal with couscous and eggplant salad. Alternatively, use boneless lamb cubes and thread on to metal skewers for an authentic Moroccan look.
Hamburgers with a Moroccan twist ... fantastic!
