Transform everyday into utterly delicious.
Close your eyes and imagine the spice souks of Yemen - cardamom pods cracking open, fresh turmeric root being ground and cinnamon bark releasing its warmth. Now imagine capturing all that aromatic complexity in a single jar, ready to transform your Tuesday night chicken into something your family will request again and again.
That's exactly what Ottolenghi's Hawaij Paste delivers to your kitchen.
Why You'll Reach for This Again and Again
This isn't just another spice blend gathering dust in your cupboard. Hawaij (pronounced ha-WAY-ij) is your shortcut to the kind of layered, warming flavours that usually require a mortar and pestle, a well-stocked spice drawer and twenty minutes (you don't have) on a weeknight.
Ottolenghi has done the work for you: sourcing quality spices, grinding them to release maximum flavour and then blending them into a ready-to-use paste that brings ginger's brightness, cardamom's mid-notes, turmeric's earthiness plus the warming embrace of cinnamon and cloves together in perfect harmony.
How It Changes Your Cooking
For the weeknight cook: Stir a generous spoonful into your soup pot and watch it transform from simple to sensational. The paste dissolves beautifully, infusing every spoonful with warmth and depth.
For the weekend entertainer: Rub it onto lamb shoulder or chicken thighs before roasting. Your kitchen will smell like you've been cooking all day (only we know you haven't - and your secret's safe with us) and your guests will be asking for the recipe.
For the vegetable lover: Mix with olive oil and toss through cauliflower, carrots, or kumara before roasting. Suddenly, your five-a-day becomes the star of the plate.
The Ottolenghi Difference
Yotam Ottolenghi built his reputation on making bold Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavours accessible to home cooks. This paste embodies that philosophy - it's authentic, it's convenient and it delivers 'utterly delicious' into your kitchen.
No grinding. No measuring out five different spices. No wondering if you've got the balance right. Just pure, concentrated flavour that works.
What's Inside
A traditional ready-to-use Yemeni spice blend featuring ginger, cardamom, turmeric, cinnamon and clove. 170g jar.
Try it in: Roasted vegetables, chicken marinades, lamb dishes, lentil soups, stews, or mixed with yoghurt as a quick sauce.
This is the kind of ingredient that earns its place in your fridge door - the one you reach for when you want to cook something that tastes like you've put in far more effort than you actually have.
