Merken

“Coriander and smoked chili, merkén for chili, potatoes and guacamole”

Our organic merkén combines three ingredients: smoked chili pepper, coriander and salt. Its success lies in the balance between the smoky oak notes of the chili pepper and the lemony, sun-drenched notes of the roasted coriander.

To make this blend, all the spices were ground together to harmonize the aromas.

Merkén comes from the Mapuche cuisine, an aboriginal community living in Chile and Argentina. It is one of the basic mixtures of the traditional popular cuisine of the Mapuche region that is also widely used in neighboring countries. It has even recently entered the world's haute cuisine.

There is a version without coriander, called merkén natural , and another with coriander, called special mark .

Any ideas for using the merkén mix?

Merkén is a very simple blend in terms of aroma. It has a lot of flavor and warms the taste buds. It pleases lovers of spicy dishes, regardless of their origin.

Its uses are numerous: as a seasoning at the end of cooking, on raw vegetables, in marinades or even as a spice to rub.

It is mixed with olive oil to make a condiment, it seasons lentil or potato soups. Frequently used to season meat, it is also used in vegetarian recipes, especially with beans, corn and the essential potatoes.
