About shorkk gift box 2024

aromatic herbs

The box includes Origanum syriacum seen here drying in the sun at Bassatin Baanoub’s farm 60km south of Beirut. A native variety of the region, it is grown on terraces at 650m. It is the flowering tip of the oregano plant which is prized for its aromatic flavour. This is added to sumac and sesame seeds to make a special za’atar mix.

all you need is a pinch

Harvested in the Bekaa valley, Lebanon the saffron is part of a project initiated by the American University of Beirut. Its distinctive aroma and deep red colour are presented in a small bag made for us by Tahaddi Lebanon.

citrusy sumac

Hugely popular at our markets – tongue tingly tangy – it adds great flavour to a British tomato. It’s also delicious instead of vanilla in this simple biscuit recipe.

Have fun and experiment with this popular Lebanese spice!

flavour in a pot

Crushed black souri olives mixed with pomegranate molasses gives Zejd pomegranate tapenade an edge on all the other pots of olive paste this Christmas. Try it on slices of roasted aubergine for a starter which just happens to be vegan!
