Description
Lusitano is a flavourful Portuguese-inspired spice blend created for everyday cooking. It brings together hearty, savoury and balanced flavours that work beautifully in simple homemade meals, roasted dishes, marinades, rice recipes and vegetable-based cooking.
Inspired by the traditional flavours of Portuguese home kitchens, this blend combines garlic, onion, paprika, parsley, green pepper, piri piri and bay leaf. The result is a warm and aromatic seasoning that adds depth without overpowering your food.
