Then pour in your diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and tomato paste and bring to a simmer over medium low heat and cook for about 15- 20 minutes. Add the drained beans and cook until the beans are hot

Here is how to perfectly cook a "frozen" steak rubbed with Boston Spice's Salem Spell Bleckening Seasoning Blend

Porterhouse and Rib-Eye steaks are my favorite steak cuts.  Most people when they buy a steak will freeze it only to find out when they want to eat it, they have forgotten to defrost it. Here is what I do to cook a great steak while it is still frozen.

Before you freeze your steak be sure it is dry and laying as flat as you can before you wrap it in plastic wrap.

--Preheat over to 275 degrees.
--In an oven safe saute pan, large enough to hold the whole steak, add oil to about 1/8" deep. Heat the oil until it shimmers.
--Carefully add the steak to the hot oil. Sear the steak for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes
--Flip the steak over in the pan and add about 2 tablespoons of Salem Spell Blackening Seasoning Blend to the seared side of the steak.

--Sear the second side of the steak for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes and then flip the steak over and cover the second side of the steak with about 2 tablespoons of Salem Spell Blackening Seasoning Blend
--Place the pan in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes until the desired internal temperature is reached. A good temperature is 125 degrees. If you are not good at determining steak doneness, I suggest using a meat thermometer.
--Enjoy one of the best steaks you will ever eat.

Baby sweet potatoes combined with Boston Spice's Salem Spell spice blend will cast a flavorful spell on your taste buds.

Thickly slice about 6 to 8 baby sweet potatoes

In a bowl toss the potatoes in 2 tablespoons of regular olive oil to coat.

Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of Salem Spell spice blend to the bowl and mix well

Place the potatoes in an oven proof baking dish and baked for 45 minutes at 425f.

For those of you who have never heard of Hake now is the time to try it. It is white fish with a sweet taste. It is also quite inexpensive compared to other white fish like cod or haddock.

Here is a great recipe for Hake. This recipe works equally as good on cod, haddock, and even pollock.

• 1 lb hake fillet (cod, pollack, or haddock will do fine as well)
  
• 8 oz sour cream
• 1 1/2 to 2 TBS Boston Spice Jamaican Me Not Plain seasoning blend
• 3 to 4 TBS melted butter
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup Plain Panko bread crumbs
• 3 - 4 TBS water
  

1. Preheat over to 400f.
   
2. Rinse the fish and dry it with a papert owel
3. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with Boston Spice's Jamaican Me Not Plain seasoning blend. Save a little in reserve for later
4. Spray an oven safe dish or pan with non-stick spray and place fish in the pan. Curl the thinner tail end under so it does not burn.
   
5. Spread the sour cream all over the top of the fish
6. Mix the melted butter with the Panko breadcrumbs.
   
7. Sprinkle the top and sides fish with the Panko breadcrumbs mixture.
8. Sprinkle the remaining Boston Spice Jamaican Me.Not Plain seasoning blend over the top of the breadcrumbs,
9. Add the water around the fish in the pan
10. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the fish reads 145f. Since all ovens can vary in temperature, I highly suggest you use a thermometer
11. Enjoy some of the best fish you have ever tasted..

While the pie crust is in the oven place the pumpkin, brown sugar, "The British Are Coming"  seasoning, and salt in a food processor for about one minute.

Place the above pumpkin mixture into a sauce pan and heat for about five minutes while constantly stirring as to not scorch the mix. Whisk in the milk and heavy cream. Bring to a very low simmer

Mix the eggs in a food processor for a few seconds. While the food processor is still running, slowly add half of the cooked pumpkin mixture. When the mixture is thoroughly blends, turn off the food processor and add the remaining pumpkin mix. Process the mix for another 30 seconds.

Pour the mix into the pie crust. Bake about 25 minutes. The filling will look dry and the center barely jiggly.

Cool pie for about an hour.

Now you can get your own flavor revolution started and win the rebellion against the ordinary.

Here is a chili recipe using our Faneuil Fiesta spice blends.

• 1lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
• 1 can kidney beans or black beans (drained and rinsed)
  
• 1 green pepper - diced small
  
• 1 medium yellow onion - diced small
  
• 2 Tbls Faneuil Fiesta spice blend - Adjust the amount of  spice per your taste
  
• 1 can diced tomatoes ( we love fire roasted)
• 1 can tomato sauce
• 1 small can tomato paste     
  

                                    

• First, in a large dutch oven, you’ll saute the diced peppers and onions until they’re translucent and start to caramelize. Next, add in your Faneuil Fiesta spice and cook for 1-2 minutes while stirring continuously. You don’t want anything to burn, so make sure you keep stirring! Add your ground meat and brown until it’s just done (drain any fat). It’s okay if it still has some pink in it before you add the rest of your ingredients because you’re going to continue cooking it. Then pour in your diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and tomato paste and bring to a simmer over medium low heat and cook for about 15- 20 minutes. Add the drained beans and cook until the beans are hot
