Mill&Mortar Five Spice

Five Spice is one of the most popular and classic spice blends in Asian cuisine and combines the five flavours of Chinese cuisine - sweet, sour, bitter, pungent and salty. The slightly aniseed-like flavour is popular with both children and adults.
Five Spice is excellent with duck, where it can be applied to the duck as a marinade and used as a rub on the duck breast. Five Spice can also be used in cakes, especially for the classic Christmassy warmth this spice lends to chocolates and other sweet treats.
The core of Mill & Mortar's Five Spice blend is fennel seeds and anise, complemented by cloves, cinnamon and coriander. You can mix this blend with a little oil and apply it directly to the meat before roasting, but it could certainly benefit from a marinating lead time of a few hours. The meat can be grilled or fried in a pan. When the meat is done, a sprinkle of freshly chopped basil or tarragon will bring out all the flavours of your dish. A cucumber salad with coriander and a little chilli goes perfectly with meat marinated in Five Spice.
Perfect for marinating all types of poultry (chicken breasts, turkey or duck) and pork (roasts, chops, mince or ribs).
