1) Who am I?

The Colombo blend is a delicious mix of spices of Antillean origin, known as the "Antillean cousin" of Indian curry. It consists of cumin, turmeric, coriander, salt, hot pepper, fenugreek, fennel, garlic, and various other spices. Its flavor is warm, fragrant, and mildly spicy without being too hot. The Colombo blend adds aromatic depth to your dishes, with a hint of exoticism reminiscent of the flavors of the islands.

2) Usage in Cooking

The Colombo blend is extremely versatile and can be used in a wide variety of dishes:

  • Meats: It pairs perfectly with meats such as chicken, lamb, pork, or veal, to make iconic dishes like chicken Colombo or pork Colombo.

  • Fish and Seafood: Elevate your fish and seafood dishes by adding a touch of Colombo, like for fish Colombo or shrimp flavored with Colombo.

  • Vegetables and Vegetarian Dishes: This spice blend also works very well with roasted vegetables, vegetarian stews, or dishes made with chickpeas, adding a rich flavor to simple dishes.

  • Dosage and Cooking: For a dish serving 5 people, use approximately 1 tablespoon of Colombo. It is recommended to add the spices midway through cooking to preserve their aromas while allowing the dish to be well-flavored.

3) A Little History

The Colombo blend has its roots in Antillean cuisine, influenced by Indian culinary traditions. It arrived in the French Caribbean islands in the 19th century with the arrival of Indian contract workers, after the abolition of slavery. Colombo thus became an essential spice in the cuisine of the Caribbean, taking the basics of Indian curries while adapting to local ingredients and the culinary preferences of the islands. Its name comes from the traditional Antillean dish of the same name, which can be made with meat, fish, or vegetables.
