1. Basil leaf
Basil leaves have a sweet scent and have a lot of health benefits. It is mostly used for pepper soup but can be used to spice up meat and fish.
2. Cayenne pepper
This spicy spice whether fresh or granulated garnish every meal and dish. It is especially important in jollof rice and stew.
3. Cumin
4. Curry and thyme
These are the most common spices in South Africa. Although separate, they are usually bought in pairs. Curry and thyme certainly improve the taste and aroma of most meals.
5. Garlic and ginger
These are separate spices, but I am pairing them together because they go together.
These spices add the required flavour to stews, vegetables and soups. You cannot make a delicious delicacy without garlic and ginger.
These are staple ingredients part from salt and seasoning cubes that every spices cabinet should contain. What ingredients are in yours?
