Wajos One for all Blend spice mix. Curry, chili, black cumin and orange peel, savory and quietly sweet – the spice mix for dips, sauces, and the pan.
Wajos One for all Blend spice mix is a dry seasoning blend of sea salt, curry, chili, black cumin, paprika, raw cane sugar, coriander, fennel, cocoa powder, orange peel, cardamom, and star anise, 85 g in a jar from Dohr on the Moselle. Not a rub for a grilled crust, not a pure herb salt, and not a curry powder, but an all-around blend with twenty ingredients that stirs up dips and seasons sauces. Vegan.
One for all Blend spice mix by Wajos is the answer to a spice rack with thirty jars that you spend forever searching through on a Tuesday night. Cumin, coriander, curry, star anise, orange peel – measuring each one individually takes longer than cooking itself. Here they are all together in one jar, perfectly balanced, and a teaspoon is enough for a pan of vegetables. The spice rack can stay, but the blend is the shortcut for evenings when you'd rather leave it closed.
Curry and chili at the forefront, followed by cumin, star anise, and a hint of orange
The blend smells first of curry and cumin, then of fennel and star anise – warm, almost oriental. On the tongue, there is a slight heat from the chili and paprika, followed by the sweetness of raw cane sugar and the fruitiness of orange peel. Cocoa powder and tomato powder provide a dark, round note, while cardamom and black cumin add an exotic touch. Honestly: sea salt is the first ingredient, and at a good 25 grams per 100 grams, a quarter of the jar is salt. This means: dose it like a seasoned salt rather than a herb blend. The blend is not suitable for those who expect pure herbs instead of curry and anise – in that case, the Herb Butter Blend by Wajos is a better fit.
A spoonful for a dip, a teaspoon for the pan
The fastest way is a dip. Stir one tablespoon of the blend into two tablespoons of olive oil, let it sit for a moment – and your dip for bread, raw vegetables, or baked potatoes is ready. Using crème fraîche or yogurt instead of oil makes it creamier and milder. In the pan, one teaspoon is enough for a tray of roasted vegetables, four chicken legs, or a kilo of fried potatoes; always add it together with the oil. In soups, stews, and tomato sauces, add the blend at the end, half a teaspoon per pot, then taste – the salt is already in there. It is not suitable for sweet dishes, despite the sugar and orange: the salt remains dominant.
Our tip: Drain canned chickpeas, roast them in the oven with olive oil and a teaspoon of the blend – an after-work snack that replaces the potato chip bag.
Twenty spices, mixed in Dohr near Cochem
Wajos mixes its blends and rubs itself in Dohr on the Moselle. The company carries around 900 items, most of which are produced in-house and tested in their own laboratory. The name comes from Walter Josef Oster, who belonged to a winemaking family in Ediger-Eller; his liqueur factory from the 1980s grew under his son Peter Oster and Ulf Schwichtenberg into a brand with over 80 employees and stores throughout Germany.
The jar for small kitchens, student apartments, and camping boxes
The One for all Blend is the jar for everyone who has limited space and little time, yet finds just salt and pepper to be insufficient. It fits into your first own kitchen, a camping box, and makes a great gift for people who love to cook but hate collecting spices. Those looking for the same concept for grilled meat can find it in the One For All Rub, which is made for a crust with onion, garlic, and mustard seeds. All blends can be found on our Wajos page. Kept dry and away from light, the jar lasts a long time; 85 grams will last for many weeks at one teaspoon per dish. The blend is not suitable for those who need to cook low-salt – the salt is already built-in.
Curry, cumin, star anise, and orange in a jar from the Moselle – the spice mix for evenings when the spice rack is just too big.
