I was so excited today to receive a special box from Saffron Road . Inside was several products for me to try
out and review. I was really excited to get started. But before I do, let me
tell you some info on this company.
Saffron Road is the pride and joy, of founder and CEO of Adnan
Durrani. He made it his life's work to become a natural food pioneer. The end
result were some of the product's I will be trying out, and letting you, my
readers know all about.
I received three bags of crunchy chickpeas. Now I love
chickpeas in my salad, and I must admit when I use them they come out of a can.
So to see them dried was a first for me. So I used them in three ways.
The first bag was the Bombay
spice crunchy chickpeas. For them, I made the first course of my dinner, a
salad. I topped the salad with the chickpeas and it was bursting with flavor.
The crunchy Bombay chickpeas are
coated with and seasoned with, Bombay
spices. The chickpeas, gave a great crunch factor to the salad. You were, also
left with a burst of flavor in your mouth. The salad was a great hit, bite after
bite. What's also great is the fact that the chickpeas are a great source of
protein and are gluten free. Also they are certified Halal, and are made with organic
chickpeas. The Bombay spice crunchy
chickpeas do have a high heat level, but using them in salad made it balance
out really well. It also gave the salad a bold colorful exotic look.
Next up I made some split pea soup and on top used the
Falafel crunchy chickpeas. The heat level for these chickpeas are on a medium
level. But with the soup it also was very well balanced out. The soup was nice
and creamy and the chickpeas added the crunch factor. These chickpeas are also
made with the fine ingredients as all the others. Also on a presentation level,
the chickpeas offered a great contrast to the soup. For these chickpeas, the
company immerses them with their secret falafel recipe, and this is what makes
them so great not only for you, but for taste.
On the side I placed the next chickpeas in some dishes with
a small spoon as a snack. The heat level of these chickpeas were on the hot
side. Well why wouldn't they be, they are the Wasabi crunchy chickpeas. Even
with their heat level, they slowly over the course of the night disappeared.
Made with the same ingredients as the others, they were a great snack hit. As
you know Wasabi is a Japanese mustard, and is on the hot side. But when used
correctly like in this product it can be a great impact of the food item. Great
job, Saffron Road .
Along with the chickpeas, I was sent four simmering authentic Indian simmer sauce's. To taste them I made four mini meals, using
two crock pots and two Dutch ovens. First up was the Rogan Josh simmer sauce.
In the crock pot I made a beef stew. The sauce was easy to use and added
unbelievable flavor. You didn't need many other ingredients for the recipe, the
simmer sauce proved that for you. With just some stew meat and veggies I had a
hearty tasty Indian inspired meal. The ingredients of these simmer sauce's are
great for any one especially if you are a vegetarian. They are low in all
nutritional facts. And as other products gluten free and no MSG. And what's
best is that you can create a authentic continental dish in minutes.
For the Tikka Masala simmer sauce, I made in my Dutch oven
some chicken Marsala . It came out
so flavorful and creamy. Again the simmer sauce made it easy to make, and gave
it a punch of flavor. Also it made the color of the dish rich and bright. This
sauce is filled with tandoori spices and makes any dish you ad it to
extraordinary.
For my second crock pot meal, I used the Moroccan Tagine
simmer sauce and made a few lamb chops and veggies. This meal came out with a
magical taste to it. The spices from the simmer sauce embedded deeply into the
meat and veggies as well. It had the taste of true Moroccan delicacy. The meat
fell off the bone, and the veggies were tender and flavorful. My house was full
of culinary smells, that would make any one's taste buds want to eat.
Last up in my Dutch oven I made some chicken stew with the
Lemongrass basil simmer sauce. The stew came out with tender flavorful chicken
and veggies. The gravy was creamy and looked like velvet. The simmer sauce
infused all the ingredients of my dish with a rich intense flavor. The
combination of the Lemongrass and Thai Basil, really made this dish intense,
and truly stand out.
