Berbere Sloppy Joes
A childhood favorite goes global with the fragrant, earthy flavors of
the Ethiopian spice blend, Berbere (pronounced ber-beray).
Boss Banana Bread
What could be better than banana bread and tea? How about tea IN your banana bread? You can’t believe how good this is until you try it! This recipe uses Rooibos (roy-boss) tea but be adventurous! What about Dark Chocolate black tea, or Moonlight Grey? Oooh – what about Huckleberry creme? I think it would make an incredible banana-berry bread if you used our Raspberry Splash Rooibos with maybe cinnamon and cardamom for spices? I’ll be trying all sorts of combinations – let us know if you find one you love!
Butter Chicken (InstaPot style)
“Prepare to be amazed!” This creamy rich and buttery Indian inspired chicken will be ready in less than an hour.
Cheeseburger Chowder
This is the #1 favorite recipe from the vaults of Spice & Vine Mercantile. Customers rave about this creamy, cheesy, savory soup that’s perfect on cool rainy days or snowy nights.
Chicken Taco Lettuce Wraps
Here’s a healthy twist for your next Taco Tuesday! Amazingly flavorful and keto-friendly. You can also substitute a plant based meat substitute for a fabulous vegetarian taco feast.
Chicken Tikka Masala for the Slow Cooker
Our slow cooker take on this Indian favorite uses our Kashmiri Garam Masala and a surprise hint of heat from our Piri Piri Seasoning to make this creamy chicken dish one that you’ll add to your ‘favorites’ after the first taste.
Chocolate Chile Hot Wings
Reminiscent of mexican molé, these decadent spicy hot wings combine citrus olive oil, rich chocolate balsamic, and a delightful chile spice blend that will make your taste buds cheer. Perfect for your next game day. Ingredients 12 chicken wings ½ c Blood Orange extra virgin olive oil (or try Citrus Habanero) ½ c Chocolate Balsamic…
Citrus Habanero Flank Steak
You’ll swear this is the best flank steak ever when you use this marinade recipe from the vaults of Spice & Vine Mercantile. Full of citrus flavor with a hint of heat. Heat it up more with our Jalapeno Seasoning Salt or our Ghost Pepper Sea Salt.
Crockpot Chicken Chili
The only thing better than smelling this chicken chili cooking all day is sitting down to eat it. Fresh Harvest Garlic olive oil and some of our favorite spices mean your chile is perfectly seasoned and will be a family favorite.
Honey Chipotle Sweet Potato Soup
This unique sweet potato soup is elevated with flavor combinations from our vast array of oils, spices, and rubs leaving the pallet excited and the stomach content. While this recipe is naturally gluten and dairy free, it lacks nothing in flavor and provides a quick and easy meal that leaves the entire family satisfied and warm.
