From Remote Svaneti

High in the Caucasus Mountains in northern Georgia lies the isolated province of Svaneti, a place deemed too dangerous for travel. The locals use fenugreek and Aleppo pepper and several other spices for a unique blend that goes well with their beet and cabbage dishes; and potatoes, soups and stews.

A chef who purchases the blend from me rubs it on fish for a delicious barbecue.

√ Use it like the natives in cabbage, beet and potato dishes, including soups.

√ Terrific on steaks before grilling or broiling.

√ Sprinkle on Brussels sprouts.

For $7 American I'll save you the trek to Svaneti and grind a fresh half cup to send to you. No shipping charges. Such a deal.
