Walter Map Medieval Spice Blend

Choose a protein: game birds preferred Duck? Cornish hens? in the absence of that desire use chicken thighs, turkey leg, small pork loin or cubed pork — even lamb or a hearty fish.

Brown protein. Add large chunks of leek and mushroom, this packet (Walter Map) and a generous amount of white wine or stock. ~375ML. Simmer until cooked and sauce reduces to taste, or braise in the oven.

Inspired by medieval cookery and history, Walter Map is redolent of European and Middle Eastern fruits and spices, this blend is an “add protein, white wine or stock and cook” product — a complete main course.

Ingredients: pear, persimmon, currant, salt, onion, garlic, ginger, pomegranate, aleppo chili, cardamom, cumin, cloves, coriander, hyssop.
