Single Origin Humera Tahini, 200g

Black Tahini, 310g
Med Cuisine's black tahini is made from 100% black sesame seeds for an intensely nutty and rich flavour. In the same way as traditional tahini, use this in hummus, over roasted meats and vegetables, in cakes, cookies, muffins and breads.

Organic Chilli Tahini, 200g
Med Cuisine organic tahini is a seriously tasty, nutty tahini with a lovely kick from the red chillies and paprika added during the grinding stage. Try adding this tahini to your home made hummus, drizzling over roasted vegetables or just spreading it on toast.

Chermoula Paste, 185g
Chermoula paste as a classic Middle Eastern spice paste that is used for everything from marinating, drizzling, rubbing and generally seasoning. It's great with vegetables, fish, lamb, prawns, chicken, flatbreads, mayonnaise, sour cream...pretty darn flexible.

Shawarma Spice Mix, 60g
Shawarma is an iconic street food dish served right across the Levant. Made with a wide variety of spices, it's a world away from Turkish Donor Kebabs or Greek Souvlaki. This spice blend is perfect for simplifying the roasting and grinding process involved in making Shawarma from scratch yourself.

Baharat Spice Mix, 60g
Translating as 'Spices', Baharat spice blend is distinctly Arabic. The blend can vary from region to region but generally contains around a dozen different spices. This aromatic spice blend is fantastic with lamb, chicken, fish, pulses and grains.

Hawaij Spice Mix, 60g

Use it liberally as a dry rub for grilled meats, add it to couscous and other grains, it's particularly good with fruit - try it with an apple pie and carrot cake.

Chocolate Tahini, 200g
Move over Nutella, here's the new kid on the block! Med Cuisine's Chocolate Tahini combines the delicious and nutty roasted Humera sesame seeds with raw cacao and cane sugar for a decadent spread. Spread this on toast and top with banana, add into milkshakes and smoothies or stir into porridge, it tastes amazing.
