About the product

Ziółko Black Cumin Seeds are small, black, oily seeds of black cumin (Nigella sativa) from India – a plant belonging to the buttercup family. Due to the appearance of the seeds, it is sometimes referred to as black cumin, although botanically it has nothing in common with cumin.

The seeds have a spicy, slightly bitter and piquant flavour – somewhere between poppy seeds and pepper – with a subtle hint of an aroma similar to oregano when ground. It perfectly enhances the flavour of meats (mutton, lamb, game, poultry), vegetable dishes (cabbage, courgette, roasted vegetables) and white cheeses. In Indian and Turkish cuisine, black cumin is often sprinkled over fresh bread (naan, focaccia) before baking.

Uses

A seasoning for meat dishes (mutton, lamb, game, poultry), roasted vegetables (cabbage, courgette, cauliflower), white cheeses (Korycin, ricotta, feta), sandwich spreads (cottage cheese, hummus) and naan bread, focaccia, and spicy-salty rolls. It also works well in marinades and as part of a coating for fish fillets.

Directions

Use whole seeds – sprinkle over bread before baking, rub into meat with salt and garlic before roasting, or add to quark with dill (1 teaspoon per 250g). To release the full aroma, lightly toast in a dry frying pan for 30 seconds or grind in a mortar. Typical serving: 1/2–1 teaspoon per 4 servings of a dish. It pairs well with caraway, cumin, coriander and garlic.
