When we first saw this trend on TikTok, we were a little sceptical. However, all the videos rave about how tasty they are. We were curious and wanted to try them out for ourselves. And they really are a taste sensation. The possible spice combinations are endless and you can allow your creativity free rein. We decided on a spicy saffron version and found that it goes beautifully with the subtle natural sweetness of Spanish onions. We served them with a crusty baguette. Next time, we'll mix them in with some pasta.
