We are delighted to introduce our friend Abra Berens, former farmer, executive chef of Granor Farm in Three Oaks, MI, and James Beard Award-nominated cookbook author. We are doubly delighted to announce her new book, Grist: A Practical Guide to Cooking Grains, Beans, Seeds, and Legumes. We are just smitten with Beren's latest recipe for Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Fried Buckwheat and Harissa. The recipe actually starts by making Beren's homemade harissa which calls for our guajillo chiles, cumin seed, coriander seed, and fennel seed.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Fried Buckwheat and Harissa

Guajillo Chiles Guajillo chiles are bright, tangy, and spicy-sweet. Their flavor makes them ideal for fish and chicken dishes. In Spanish, their name means "little gourd," a reference to the rattling sound their seeds make when these peppers are dried whole. Cumin Seeds Cumin's savory pungency has been essential in curries for thousands of years. It is also a key flavor in harissa, lending an essential savory and aromatic flavor. We source our premium cumin seeds from the northern regions of India and Turkey.
