North Beach Blend

$9.00

Our North Beach Blend, affectionately known as the "pizza blend", is a classic combo of Italian herbs and spices, with a definite zing from the extra-crunchy mix of chili flakes and oregano. Delicious in dipping oil, tomato sauce, pastas, sprinkled on focaccia, or as a zesty topping on pizza.

Ingredients: Oregano, Basil, Chili Pepper, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Garlic, Rosemary, Thyme, Black Pepper and Sea Salt.

Quick Uses & Ideas:

  • For a delicious dipping oil to serve with fresh baguette, mix 1 tbsp North Beach Blend with 4 Tbsp House Blend, Basil, Garlic or Rosemary EVOO. Let steep 1 hour, taste, and adjust. Good to make in advance - the longer it steeps the more flavorful it becomes.
  • Makes an excellent Bruschetta - check out our recipes for all seasons!
  • Excellent in a tomato sauce for pasta. Make simple homemade pasta sauce by sautéing 1/2 onion, a few cloves of garlic, and NBB in olive oil until soft, then add canned tomatoes and simmer, adding salt to taste.
  • Sprinkle on garlic bread or grilled veggies.
  • Mix with fresh ricotta, basil & parsley, fill large pasta shells, top with marinara sauce and bake.
  • Use in a vinaigrette, for a vibrant Italian flavor.
  • Top or mix into hummus with any Stonehouse oil.
  • Mix into fresh pizza dough.
  • Add to meatballs or meatloaf.
  • Scroll down or visit our Recipe Page for more ideas!

Pairs Well With: pasta, pizza, lasagna, soups, chicken, pork, steak, zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, potatoes, Rosemary EVOO, Basil EVOO, Garlic EVOO, Hot Chili EVOO, Dark Balsamic Vinegar

Love North Beach Blend.

We discovered this spice on a pacific coast cruise with a stop in San Francisco. We strolled thru the ferry building and could not resist sampling this spice. I use it in all matters of cooking and eating. I give it as surprise gift to the favorite people in my life.

Obsessed!

We are obsessed with the North Beach blend! It adds such a kick to anything we add it to. One of my favorite uses: stir fry veggies and sun-dried tomatoes with olive oil and season liberally with this seasoning. Toss with cooked pasta and fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano for an amazing dish! I've gifted this spice to many friends and family. Just bought a new 4 oz bag for myself.

Tasty Blend!

I have purchased this blend several times. It is delicious on eggs, sautéed vegetables and even in some good olive oil for dipping bread! Yum. A bit spicy but not too much. Just give a little kick to your food! Try it, you’ll be addicted!
