September’s Featured Spice is Anacapa Deep Dive!
Anacapa Deep Dive Rub is one of the Ventura Spices created to represent the flavors of Ventura. A channel island visible from our coastline, Anacapa Island, is known for its abundant sea life, so Eliah set out to create a blend specifically for fish. The result? This delicious ginger citrus blend! Although this blend was created just for seafood, it also works well with chicken, veggies, fruits, and even beef!
This spice blend is hand-blended at SpiceTopia using organic spices and herbs and is naturally gluten-free and vegan!
September’s Exclusive SpiceScription Recipes
Along with the featured spice, SpiceScription includes three recipes to help you use your featured spice! Although Anacapa Deep Dive was created as a seafood rub, you’ll notice two out of three of this month’s recipes do not have seafood. As mentioned above, this is a versatile blend.
Anacapa Deep Dive Braised Chicken
This recipe always elicits a request for a recipe! The chicken is juicy with a deep savory flavor and just a bit of sweetness that is balanced with the spice and herbs in the Anacapa Deep Dive. As a braised dish (browned on the stove and then finished by cooking in a liquid), the chicken comes out fall-off-the-bone tender!
Anacapa Deep Dive Stone Fruit Salsa
This is a recipe that is easy, but packs a punch of flavor! The Anacapa Deep Dive Rub may seem odd in a salsa, but the ginger, citrus, salt, and sugar found in this rub pair well with the sweetness of the fruit.
We’ve also added lots of variations to this fruit salsa recipe, so you can mix things up and make this recipe your own!
Anacapa Deep Dive Salmon Cakes
This recipe is simple yet flavorful. Just a few pantry ingredients create a healthy lunch or dinner. Using canned salmon makes this an easy meal for those days when you just don’t have a lot of energy to cook. Even simple meals should be delicious – and this salmon recipe fits the bill.
Be sure to look for the bonus recipe included in the letter for an easy dipping sauce for the salmon cakes!
