Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 You can find ajwan (or ajwain) seed in your local indian supermarket - or you could try a middle-eastern store as well, but most likely an indian supermarket will have it (that's where I get mine). If you can't find it, use dried thyme instead. Ajwan tastes somewhat similar to thyme, though it is MUCH stronger and can easily overpower a dish. So, if a recipe calls for 1/4 tsp ajwan seeds, you can safely sub. with 1/4 or even 1/2 tsp thyme (depending on your preference). More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajwain Soup sounds delicious - indulge! adjowan seed? I have a soup recipe that calls for this ingredient. I went to our local Home Economist (who carries lots of spices) they don't carry it or know what it is. Does anyone know where I can get this? I had planned on getting this tonight. Do you think it can be omitted or something else used in it's place? It's Tomato, Spinach & Lentil Soup (pg. 72) in the grain-free gourmet cookbook. Thanks for your help!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Have you tried Reid's Fine Foods in uptown? I believe it is on South Blvd. Call to ask if they have it. Make sure you tell them the name and what it is in case whoever you're speaking with hasn't heard of it and just says no. They carry lots of unusual things. If it is a Latin spice, you've got the little tienda by The Bakery Shop and the one on 115 near Ramma Church. If it's Italian, there's Ferrucci's at Exit 28 in Shops on the Green shopping center.
