How to spice up your Holidays’ favourite dishes

Foie Gras :

The must of winterly tables, to which you can add a few peppercorns of our Fresh Salted Kampot Pepper. It takes no time to make, and will surprise your guests for sure! If you rather like a sweet flavour with your foie gras, you can also make a shallots chutney, spiced with our Red Long Pepper, or its Leather version. By the way, if you do not eat any animal products, we heard ‘Fake Foie-Gras’ pair perfectly with our Salted Long Kampot Pepper!

Smoked salmon :

This nordic flavour is sublimated by onion pickles. If this preparation seems complicated, it’s actually very simple. Bring to boil your sections of 2 red onions with a mixture of apple cider vinegar (170ml), water (160ml) and sugar (2 tablespoons) and a teaspoon of spices. We love to add some Star Anise, Green Dehydrated Kampot Pepper and a bit of Forest Cardamom.

Gravlax Salmon :

A true alternative to diy at home. Prepare your blend of spices: 2 tablespoons of our Kampot Flower of Salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of Crushed Black Kampot, 1 teaspoon of Galanga, and 1 teaspoon of Green Khmer Curry. Add it in between 2 salmon fillets with some dill. Leave it to rest for 3 days in the fridge whilst getting rid of the water in the dish, a few times per day.

Oysters :

The true iodized note of Christmas. Served raw with some freshly ground White Kampot Pepper, or warm with a leek compote with fresh cream and White Turmeric. Guaranteed surprise!

Turkey, capon and other poultry :

What if we marinade the traditional festive poultry? Massage it with our Smoked Sweet Long Chili, and Red Kampot Pepper before putting it in the oven. Don’t hesitate to add a twist to your mashed potatoes as well. We love to add a few Pearls of Long Pepper at the very last minute.

Yule Log :

What’s more iconic than this Christmas dessert. If, like us, you’re a bit sick of eating the same yule log evey year, spices are your best allies. For the risk-takers: our Salted Fresh Kampot Pepper or Bird Chili. For the shy ones, a little dose of Cassia Cinnamon and Kampot Flower of Salt can awaken all of this chocolate. In between and still not decided? Our Young Ginger and/or Galangal are ideal to spice-up any dessert!

We are looking forward to seeing your Christmas dishes made with love and our spices!
