Laurel is also called "Laurel" or "Poets' Tree", it has been known for centuries in cooking and herbal medicine. Its dried leaves are used both to flavor dishes and as an infusion. An infusion based on bay leaves helps digestion: it avoids annoying fermentations, fights stomach discomfort and loss of appetite. Very useful in the kitchen for flavoring potatoes, stews and second courses such as white meat stew.
This spice blend called Tsire is used as a condiment to enhance the flavor of kebabs and West African cuisine. A spice used above all on meat, before or after cooking, which enhances the taste with pungent but refined notes, with different shades between sweet and spicy. Also excellent in stews, on vegetables and to create exotic sauces.
