- Olive oil- Whether used for sautéing, roasting, or baking, olive oil enhances the flavor and nutrition of countless dishes, earning its place as a kitchen essential.
- Sea salt and black pepper- We prefer sea salt over table salt because it adds the perfect flavor for all your seasoning needs! Crushed black pepper adds the perfect seasoning mix.
- Oregano- Oregano is a fragrant herb that belongs to the mint family, renowned for its bold, earthy flavor and aromatic qualities.
- Garlic powder- Ideal for seasoning meats, soups, stews, and sauces, garlic powder disperses evenly, ensuring consistent flavor throughout your recipes. Fresh garlic would work as well just be sure to cool before adding to ground lamb.
