Uhmami Mediterranean Flavour Spread – Uhmami
Sun-dried tomatoes, basil and garlic define the character of the Uhmami Mediterranean Flavour Spread, a plant-based spreadable speciality that offers a contemporary reinterpretation of kechek el fouquara, also known as “poor man's cheese” in Lebanese tradition. The recipe brings together Mediterranean flavours enhanced by a delicate smoky note, creating a versatile seasoning with a rich range of aromatic nuances.
The preparation is made with wheat bulgur, cold-pressed sunflower seed oil, water, sun-dried tomato powder, dried basil powder, dried garlic powder, natural liquid smoke and whole sea salt. The combination of ingredients gives the spread its Mediterranean flavour, in which tomato and aromatic herbs meet the character of garlic and a slightly smoky touch. The product contains gluten and may contain traces of sesame, eggs, fish, peanuts, soy, milk, tree nuts, celery, mustard and lupin.
Thanks to its spreadable texture, it is suitable for a wide range of everyday and creative preparations. It can be used to fill bruschetta, crostini, toast, sandwiches and flatbreads, adding an aromatic element to quick lunches, snacks and aperitifs. For a simple, fresh combination, try it on a slice of warm, crispy bread with avocado and fresh cherry tomatoes: ingredients that complement the spread's Mediterranean profile without overpowering its flavour.
For more intense combinations, serve it with stewed onions and chickpeas or spicy friarielli. It is also a practical way to enhance vegetables, canapés and fillings, adding character to recipes made with just a few ingredients. Its versatility makes it easy to experiment with different combinations, from simple ideas to options designed for aperitifs and buffets.
In the kitchen, the Uhmami Mediterranean Flavour Spread can also be used to finish pasta and risottos, prepare fillings for fresh pasta, enrich savoury pies and add character to sauces and seasonings. Depending on the desired result, it can be incorporated into recipes to bring out the notes of sun-dried tomatoes, basil, garlic and smoke. It is an ideal option for anyone looking for a plant-based alternative that can be used throughout the day, rather than just as a bread spread.
Combining its connection to the tradition of kechek el fouquara with its Mediterranean aromatic interpretation, this spread expands the possibilities for using plant-based seasonings: from aperitif bruschetta to sandwiches, hot dishes and recipes to share. A versatile ingredient for adding aromatic depth to simple dishes and exploring new culinary combinations.
