Portuguese Seasoning
Melange
$11.00
Portuguese Seasoning brings the sunny, robust flavors of the Iberian kitchen to almost anything headed for the pan, grill or oven.
Paprika, garlic, herbs and warming spices create a savory fragrance and gentle smokiness that settles beautifully into seafood, pork and chicken.
It is particularly good when there is olive oil, garlic, lemon and heat involved. Which, happily, is quite often.
Warm red-gold in appearance with an immediate aroma of paprika, garlic and herbs, followed by earthy spice and a gently smoky character.
Savory and rounded on the palate, with warm spice, herbal complexity and restrained heat rather than an aggressive burn.
Rub generously onto shrimp, fish, chicken or pork before grilling, roasting or pan-frying.
Toss with potatoes, onions or vegetables and olive oil before roasting. Stir into soups, stews, rice dishes and tomato sauces for instant savory depth.
Use it to season seafood marinades, grilled chicken, pork skewers or our Shrimp Mozambique, where garlic, lemon and butter give the seasoning plenty of room to show off.
Portuguese Seasoning takes its inspiration from the rustic cooking of Portugal, where seafood, pork, garlic, olive oil, herbs and paprika are comfortable companions.
Rather than representing one particular regional recipe, it captures a broader Portuguese style of seasoning—aromatic, savory, warming and wonderfully suited to uncomplicated food.
It is the sort of seasoning that earns its place near the stove because once you start using it, you keep finding reasons to reach for it.
