Tibetan Spice Blend Tibetan cuisine consists mostly of grains, the spices they use flavor everything wonderfully. This blend is used as a condiment, use as you would salt and pepper. In Tibet beef and mutton are the only meat consumed, rice is the staple of the region making up 90% of their diet. Vegetables are served as an accompaniment to rice. It is understandable why such strong flavored spices are used to flavor their food. Many Tibetan recipes call for curry, Garam masala, and the addition of red chili. Most Chinese cuisine includes the addition of red chili but I have omitted this because the American palate does not use cayenne to flavor everything. Without the red chili the other flavors can be identified and used to a better advantage. Another important contribution from Tibet is saffron. Supposedly saffron was “discovered” by the Persians in Tibet. Add saffron to any of my recipes in small pinches, too much will make a dish bitter. The best uses for Tibetan Spice Blend is with rice, in mashed potatoes, any potato dish, sautéed carrots, in sour cream, or stirred into cream cheese. I keep a small jar of tamari soy sauce with 1 T. Tibetan spice blend to use as a dip for pot stickers or to add to Chinese food.
