Smoked spices are traditional herbs and seasonings that have been carefully infused with cold wood smoke to create a distinct flavour that is subtle, aromatic and smoky. This technique combines tradition and precision, resulting in versatile ingredients that work beautifully in so many dishes.
Smoked spices are incredibly versatile and easy to use, just like many of your current favourite spices. Blend them into rubs or marinades for bold, smoky flavours. Infuse them into oils or butter for even flavour distribution. Sprinkle them as a garnish on popcorn, pizzas or dips for an instant burst of smoky warmth and depth.
Combine smoked spices into rubs or marinades to evoke the bold flavours of grilling over an open flame. Try blending ground smoked pepper, smoked paprika, salt and a pinch of sugar for a rub that’s perfect for vegetables. Or mix ketchup, soy sauce and smoked chilli flakes for a marinade that pairs beautifully with chicken or tofu.
Infusing oil or butter with smoked spices allows their flavour to spread evenly through a dish. Create a smoked chilli oil by gently warming olive oil with smoked chilli flakes – ideal for drizzling over pasta, roasted vegetables or stir-fries. For a rich finishing touch, melt smoky chipotle butter over grilled steak, scallops or prawns.
Sprinkling smoked spice on prepared dishes adds an instant burst of flavour to them. Dust smoked paprika over popcorn, scatter smoked chilli flakes on pizza or hummus, or use smoked salt to finish a pasta dish. It’s such a simple way to introduce a smoky twist to your meals. It will quickly become your favourite flavour.
