At Burlap & Barrel, our job doesn’t stop at sourcing great spices. We want to make it easier, and more fun, to use them. That’s why we’re launching Now We're Cooking, a new bi-weekly series where we send you a new recipe every other week alongside tips and tricks for the kitchen. Cold weather calls for warm, comforting food, and a few months ago we introduced our Classics Reinvented line as a way to bring more depth and intention to familiar blends. One standout from the collection is our Low & Slow Chili Powder, so our first recipe is cornbread chili with a Burlap & Barrel twist! | | This version is a simple, deeply flavorful chili seasoned with Low & Slow Chili Powder, topped with a cornbread batter that bakes right on top—think pot pie, but chili. It’s the kind of recipe you’ll want to keep in your back pocket all winter. This version is vegetarian, but the cornbread topping works just as well with any chili you love or baked on its own. | | Low & Slow Chili Powder uses single origin chilis and layered aromatics for delicious heat and slow-building warmth. You’ll taste smokiness from Smoked Pimentón Paprika, savory depth from Toasted Onion and garlic, round, earthy spice from Wild Mountain Cumin, coriander and a touch of cinnamon. The result is a bold, balanced flavor that plays well with everything from beans to vegetables to long-simmered stews. | | Use anywhere you want warmth without heat. - Roasted vegetables: toss with oil and salt, then add before going into the oven (great with squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, and cauliflower)
- Eggs: sprinkle into scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes, or shakshuka as they cook
- Beans & stews: stir in while simmering—especially good with black beans, pinto beans, and white bean soups
- Grilled foods: use in a simple marinade for chicken, shrimp, tofu, or corn
| | AN EXTRA PINCH 🤌 - Laura Manzano featured Sourcing and Operations Manager Bayley Freeman on the benefits of using Onion Powder and how it can even be better than fresh onion 🧅
- With another holiday or birthday always around the corner,
Medea Giordano put together this Gift Guide for Boyfriends which recommends our Fundamentals Collection 🔪 - Knead Love Bakery started selling gluten-free and vegan brownie and cookie baking mixes made with our vanilla powder 🍪
- What's the mystery spice this week? (Top your eggs or hummus with it when you’re looking for mild heat, a touch of salt and smoke and a gorgeous color!) 🕵️
