Chicken Kebab Spice

A four-ingredient kebab seasoning of garlic, Aleppo pepper, coarse white pepper and turmeric. It is savoury before it is hot, with garlic leading, Aleppo pepper adding a mild fruity warmth, and turmeric turning the chicken a rich golden colour as it cooks.

Garlic provides the bold savoury base and Aleppo pepper a gentle warmth with a hint of fruit. White pepper deepens the profile with its pungent edge, which is sharper and more penetrating than black pepper at the same quantity.

How to use it

Use it for kebabs and skewers cooked on a grill, in the oven or in a pan, and in marinades. Around a tablespoon seasons 500g of chicken. Technique tip: white pepper is stronger than it looks, so mix the blend into oil or yoghurt before it meets the meat rather than dusting it on dry. A dry coat lands unevenly and leaves hot peppery spots on some pieces and none on others.

The shaker jar

The jar option is packed in a clear 8 oz shaker jar made from lightweight, food-safe PET, so the colour and texture of the blend are visible at a glance. The flip-top cap opens to a three-hole sifter for an even sprinkle straight over the pan, the grill or the plate, and closes again with a simple press. A pressure-sensitive liner seals the jar until first use, and the fitted cap keeps the blend fresh between uses. When a recipe calls for a measured spoonful, simply unscrew the cap; the wide mouth takes a teaspoon with ease. Once empty, the jar is easy to refill with your next Ameen blend and makes a practical home for dried herbs, chilli flakes, sesame seeds or homemade rubs. Hand wash only.
