What is the Brazilian Style?

My name is Paulo Siqueira and I am the Brazilian Mushroom Chef!

I live in the heart of Rio de Janeiro, one of the world's most colourful and vibrant cities. The weather and lifestyle of Brazil means we love to be outside, to have fun and to be cooking on the barbecue.

A Brazilian BBQ is busy and loud, with many people and much music.

There is dancing and laughter, and we share the cooking, showing off our favourite dish.

For me, mushrooms are always the favourite. We use many spices on the BBQ and the mushrooms sizzle on the hotplate, creating wonderful flavours that everyone enjoys. There is so much taste and it is very healthy.

To help you experience BBQ Mushrooms Brazilian style, Australian Mushroom Growers, in conjunction with Herbie's Spices, have created a unique Brazilian Spice Mix – so you can enjoy this wonderful flavour.

Of course, creating BBQ Mushrooms with a Brazilian flavour is just the beginning. A Brazilian barbecue is a celebration of food and family and friends!

We offer our guests a Brazilian cocktail, Caipirinha on arrival. We have plenty of Brazilian music, and of course, we serve many different dishes - my recipes!

I invite you to enjoy the complete Brazilian BBQ experience this summer. The best place to start is with the Brazilian Spice Mix, so you and your guests can start celebrating BBQ Mushrooms – Brazilian style!

What's in the Brazilian Spice Mix?

It's a careful blend of paprika, ginger, salt, garlic, onion, cumin, coriander seed andleaf,
allspice, cinnamon, pepper and chilli.

The quantity of each spice has been balanced to create a depth of flavour which enhances the natural taste of mushrooms and meats. It is not a hot spice blend, so it will not overwhelm your guests.

Sounds good. How do I order the Brazilian Spice Mix?This unique spice mix is available from selected greengrocers and gourmet food shops, or you can order it direct from Herbie's Spices in Sydney.
