Mix of spices Five spice, organic

Five Spice is one of the most popular classic spices in Asian cuisine and includes the five tastes of Chinese cuisine – sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty. The mild anise-like flavor is a hit with both children and adults.


Five Spice goes particularly well with duck meat, in which case it can be used as a marinade to cover the entire duck, or rubbed into the breast meat of the bird. Also, Five Spice can be used in cakes, chocolates and other types of confectionery.


The base in Mill & Mortar's Five Spice version is composed of wild fennel seeds and anise, which is enhanced by cloves, cinnamon and coriander. You can combine this mixture with a little oil and apply it directly to the meat before frying it, but it can also make a convincing contribution to the dish if you marinate the meat for several hours. The meat can be grilled or wok-fried. When the meat is ready, sprinkling it with freshly chopped basil or a pinch of tarragon will bring out all the flavors of the feast. Cucumber salad with coriander and a little chilli goes perfectly with the meat, which is marinated with Five Spice. The mix is ​​perfect for marinating all types of poultry (chicken, turkey or duck) as well as pork (tenderloin, minced meat, ribs or chops).
