Chraime

Chraime is a smoky, spicy North African blend of smoked paprika, chilli, turmeric and garlic. It's built for chraime, white fish simmered in a red tomato sauce. The dish is a Shabbat and holiday classic in Jewish homes from Libya, Tunisia and Morocco.

Ingredients: Smoked Paprika, Chilli Pepper, Turmeric, Granulated Garlic, Cumin, Pepper.

Tastes like: smoky and garlicky with real chilli heat and an earthy cumin base. This is one of our spicier blends.

Best on: white fish (cod, halibut, haddock), shakshuka, beef stews and braises, roasted or barbecued vegetables, chickpeas.

How to make chraime (serves 4)

  1. Warm 1/4 cup oil in a wide pan. Add 1–2 tbsp Chraime blend and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add 2 tbsp tomato paste and 1 cup water or crushed tomatoes. Simmer 5 minutes and season with salt and lemon.
  3. Nestle in 1 1/2 lb white fish fillets, cover, and simmer gently 8–10 minutes until the fish flakes.
  4. Finish with lots of chopped cilantro. Serve with challah or bread to mop up the sauce.

Other ways to use it: stir 1 tsp into shakshuka sauce, rub on beef before braising, or toss with vegetables before grilling.

Good to know: it's salt-free. Start with 1 tbsp if you're heat-shy.
