A few weeks ago I received a package with seasoning from Ariosto. The intriguing aroma of herbs perfumed my kitchen before I opened the package. I loved it from the first smell. Then I tasted each of all five seasonings: for roasted and fried potatoes; for roasted meats/grilled chicken; for tomato sauces; for oven cooked or BBQ Fish; and Garlic and dry chili.
Such ingredients as rosemary, juniper, basil, marjoram, parsley, coriander, laurel (bay leaf), sage set me in my cooking mode.
I had some fresh tomatoes and was eager to try the first seasoning (for tomato sauces). 
Roasted tomatoes
2 lb (1 kg) tomatoes
4 tbsp olive oil
3-4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 teaspoon Ariosto seasoning for tomato sauces
Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
Cut tomatoes in half, place in a baking dish with 3 tbsp olive oil and sliced garlic.
Sprinkle tomatoes with Ariosto seasoning and drizzle with remaining olive.
Bake for 60 minutes.

Serve on a toast with fresh basil to enjoy the flavor.

The Ariosto seasoning has my five stars, this is a keeper. Herbs and salt are balanced well without overpowering each other.
I used the seasoning in another dishes, and also made a salad dressing with it. Because this seasoning has both salt and herbs, sodium content in food is lower, but the taste is reach and flavorful.
*I received a free samples to review from the Ariosto. All thoughts and opinions stated in this post are 100% mine.

ReplyDeleteThanks Elisabeth. Thanks for the heads up on photos too. I am working on it, trying to find the right proportion. Because the size of photo is very huge I have to shrink it for the blog, but keeping in mind my parents who have hard time looking at a smaller photos. :) Be patient, please as I am working on finding that perfect setting. :)
