Start with the dish
Use the Matbakhy ingredients collection to compare product pages. For pasta, the Italian seasoning list includes oregano, basil, thyme and marjoram. For rice, compare the ingredient lists for kabsa seasoning and machboos seasoning. Try sumac for a tangy finish on salad.
Check every ingredient
Look for garlic and garlic powder, including in ready-made stock, sauce or marinades. Ottoman and taco blends are examples that list garlic. Check each blend individually. If the online list is brief, read the pack or ask Matbakhy for the ingredients.
Build flavour and check new packs
Start with a little seasoning and taste as you go. Keep a note of what worked for the next time. Check every new pack, especially when avoiding an ingredient. Product pages help compare options, and the pack label is specific to the product in your kitchen.
