$ 3.00
This tasty spice blend, full of the flavors of the sunny Mediterranean, is the perfect companion to fresh crusty bread and extra virgin olive oil for an unforgettable bite packed with flavor.
To make a remarkable olive oil seasoning dip, mix 2 tablespoons Classic OLIVE-OIL BREAD DIPPING Seasoning with ½ cup of your favorite extra virgin olive oil. Quick Tip: For best flavor gently heat oil with bread dipper for 30-60 seconds in microwave or on the stove top. You can of course easily adjust this with more or less seasoning to suite the tastes of your friends and family. We like to mix this and let it set for about 30 minutes prior to using as that allows the seasonings to fully marry with the olive oil. Serve hunks of crusty french bread around little ramekins of this signature blend paired with a top notch olive oil and watch it disappear!
For a tasty vinegar and oil salad dressing, mix 2 tablespoons Olive-Oil Dipping Seasoning with 2/3 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup vinegar, let stand for at least 15 minutes.
This blend is quite versatile, and it makes a great marinade, using the dressing recipe from above, for chicken, pork or fish. Classic Olive Oil Dipping Seasoning can also be used as a dry rub for steaks, lamb or pork chops. It's delicious as a seasoning for breading or a topping for macaroni and cheese, or mixing some in with breadcrumbs for meatballs, or into sour cream for a quick potato chip dip or on your breadsticks just before they go in the oven. Also into salads, casserole, bread, pizza dough, pasta. A pinch of this blend is also great sprinkled on baked chicken, french fries, or popcorn.

KICKIN' CAJUN Seasoning
$ 3.00
Why we love this blend?
Kickin' Cajun delivers the smokey warmth that typifies the ideal N’awlins cajun taste. One mouthful, and you’ll think you’re on Bourbon Street in N’awlins!
“Cajun” refers to the rustic cuisine of rural Louisiana that was developed by displaced French Canadians during their expulsion from British rule in the 1750's. Cajun food is characterized by simple French & Mediterranean style, one pot style dishes. Kickin' Cajun is the perfect blend of zesty, spicy, savory flavors that are sure to kick any dish up a delicious notch. It's more versatile than you'd think.
❖ Taste and Aroma Profile
This delicious blend has a bit of mild spiciness with just a bit of temperate heat that delights the palate, balanced with the aromatics of fragrant coriander, onion and garlic and the tastes of hearty oregano, sweet paprika and floral thyme. Saratoga Spicery Kickin' Cajun unveils all of the intensity of Cayenne pepper, whose characteristic zing envelops the taste buds in an explosion of flavors and tantalizing notes.
❖ How to Enjoy it
- This seasoning is so tasty and versatile that whether you do a lot of Cajun style cooking —gumbo or jambalaya— or not, you'll find many ways to enjoy it. It's the kind of spice blend that you can use on all kind of things that are not necessarily straight-ahead Cajun dishes.
- Use it as a dry rub (or moisten with olive oil) on fish, chicken, prawns or steaks.
- Adds a spicy zip to fresh crawfish, pork, kabobs, and burgers. In a pinch, Cajun seasoning adds a lot of flavor when you need it.
- Mix with extra virgin olive oil, brush over salmon, then grill.
- Mix with ground turkey breast or 90% lean ground beef, Dijon mustard, and finely chopped red onion for a jazzed up burger.
- Sprinkle over freshly popped popcorn. As with popcorn, Cajun seasoning adds a great extra bit of zip to a vehicle of butter and salt like croutons. You can also use it in the breadcrumbs on top of a pasta bake or casserole. Just stir in a bit along with the salt and oil, and toast the croutons up.
- Mix with Greek yogurt as a dip for veggies or baked potato topper. If you want a way to add some extra oomph to storebought creamy dips like ranch or blue cheese, a good way is to stir in Kickin' Cajun seasoning to taste.
- Combine with crabmeat and cream cheese for surprisingly delectable party food.
- Add to soups, vegetable, lentils or sprinkle over baked potatoes, gratins or grilled tomatoes.
- If you're making a Bloody Mary or a Michelada, try rimming the glass with Kickin' Cajun and salt for a fun twist on the familiar cocktail.
- You can use Kickin' Cajun as a blackening or all-purpose seasoning: Use about 1 tsp. per pound of meat.
- In addition, use as a sprinkle to liven up vegetables, rice and bean dishes, tofu, pasta, or salads.
- We also find it is great on all kinds of potatoes (baked, roasted, fries, etc), especially baked sweet potato fries.
- It's terrific scrambled into eggs for a spicy breakfast.
- It's delicious stirred into everything from hummus, queso, spinach artichoke dip, even guacamole.
- Make the best stovetop Mac and Cheese, just stirring an extra tablespoon or two of Kickin' Cajun.
- Mix it into a marinade, or rub it right on dry or with a little extra virgin olive oil, and it’s ready to go! It’s an easy way to spice up – literally – an ordinary vegetable or side dish!
- Make spiced cashews to serve with drinks. In a bowl mix one pound raw unsalted cashews, 1 egg white, half a cup sugar and 3 tablespoons Kickin' Cajun mix. Mix all together and then pour onto a baking tray. Bake in medium over until brown. Cool and then separate mixture — add a little sea salt to taste, (great also with almonds!).
-
For a great fajita marinade, mix together 1 tablespoon Kickin' Cajun seasoning, 2/3 cup vegetable oil and 1/3 cup lime juice or vinegar. Let your chicken, pork, flank or round steak marinate in the fridge overnight, then toss it in a hot cast-iron skillet and cook quickly until done. Serve with bell pepper, onion slices, flour tortillas and sour cream and guacamole for a tasty, easy meal.

RUSTIC Rub
$ 3.00
Pucker up!
Rustic Rub is a subtle, aromatic Mediterranean fusion blend, unlike any product on market shelves today. We crafted this medley to evoke the herbal flavors found throughout the Mediterranean restaurants and bistros. Rustic is going to liven up your taste buds and could easily become one of your favorite blends.
- If you want to add something a little extra to a rack of tender lamb or a flavorful leg of lamb, you can rub some of Rustic on the meat, to your taste.
- This delicate blend passes its delectable full-bodied flavor into fish and seafood, and stands up wonderfully to strong flavored or gamey meats.
- Add to scrambled eggs, or on roasted, steamed or sautéed vegetables for an explosion of flavor.
- Rub a leg of lamb with fresh extra-virgin olive oil. Slather it with Rustic Rub all over lamb that you've studded with fresh garlic, and roast or grill it, and you have the taste of the Mediterranean right there on your plate.
- If you're making lamburgers, whisk some Rustic into your mayo and slather it over a toasted bun.
- Rustic is also an excellent marinade for pork, and turkey. Mix Rustic with extra-virgin olive and marinate the meat for ten minutes before cooking; the flavor permeates quickly.
- For pasta dishes, add a little olive oil and sprinkle with Rustic.
- Whisk some Rustic with Greek yogurt and use it as a spiced yogurt marinade for pork chops, or lamb skewers.
- Our Rustic Rub has an exquisite flavor. Remember though that it is a very delicate blend and will not hold up to a long or high heat cooking process as that would essentially cook off all of the great subtleties. For those processes, try adding it toward the end of the cooking time so the flavor will shine.
- Rustic Rub goes on pretty anything and everything.
- To convert into a paste, mix equal parts Rustic, olive oil and water. To make a thinner paste to use in a basting method for grilling, add a bit more of the liquids.

SARATOGA STEAK & CHOP®
$ 3.00
A lot of people will tell you that a great steak needs no more flavor than a kiss of flame and a pinch of salt.
The truth is that for any steak, whether a great cut or an inexpensive chunk of beef, the right seasoning is key to getting something spectacular. Based on the same idea, Saratoga Steak & Chop® was born.
Zesty, flavorful and complex, our blend is specifically formulated to work perfectly on beef & pork chop, to enhance but not overpower the flavor, and take the kind of intense heat that a steak needs. It has a robust flavor explosion designed for the bolder tastes of steaks and burgers.
We —and some of our friends— have discovered that Saratoga Steak & Chop's charms aren't limited to red meat. Far from it — from enlivening roast potatoes, to spicing up veggies on the BBQ, to making your simple side salad sing, our all natural, small-batch, makes this spice blend an indispensable partner in the kitchen. Don't forget to try it on salmon, pork chops, chicken, hash browns, tater tots, and even French fries. Use it on broccoli, mushrooms, and other grilled or roasted vegetables.
When sprinkled on a steak pre- or post-grilling, the taste of Saratoga Steak & Chop is comparable to a deli favorite: pastrami. One of our personal favorite is actually when it's paired with fish — big tuna, swordfish, or mahi-mahi steaks left overnight in a simple marinade of extra-virgin olive oil and our Saratoga Steak & Chop, then seared quickly on the grill outside or in a cast iron pan on the stove top.
The best method to use our blend for seasoning a steak is, first, bring your steak to room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes. Then, pat the meat dry with a paper towel and apply the spice rub generously (lightly or more to your taste) immediately before cooking (what the meat holds is the amount needed). Let the steak sit with the rub on at room temperature for 20/30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to absorb and the meat to rise in temperature. You don't want it more than 30 mins. on in advance as the salt will draw water out of the meat. This well-rounded rub will provide a nice crust while bringing out the natural flavors of the meat.
To use Saratoga Steak & Chop in a marinade, add ½ teaspoon of the mix to ¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup water, and 2 tablespoons vinegar. Marinate the steak for 15 minutes or more in a plastic bag in the refrigerator before grilling. Be sure that you dispose of the marinade that has been in contact with the raw meat. Make fresh marinade if you wish to use it as a baste or sauce.
Ingredients: This robust seasoning features Hungarian Paprika, Tellicherry black Pepper, Garlic, Onion, roasted red Bell Pepper, black Mustard seed, Coriander, hot Pepper flakes, Rosemary, Thyme, Cardamom seeds, Dill seeds, and Himalayan pink sea Salt.
