Thoughts welcome on some great new spices I scored!
I visited a great spice shop this weekend and had fun tasting/not holding back purchasing. I know I like the flavor of the following, but if you friends out there have ideas on recipes or techniques that capitalize on these great ingredients, I'd love to hear them (vegetarian options please): powdered mild New Mexico green chiles; dried rose petals; pomegranate molasses; berbere blend; a greek blend that includes mint. thanks!

The pomegranate molasses is pretty exciting. Use it with roasted winter squash - roast the squash and mash with a little butter, salt, and the molasses. Taste to see if you want to add ginger.
I would use the berbere blend in an eggplant stew with onions, garlic, tomatoes and possibly chickpeas.
Think of the greek blend as a seasoning for lentils in making a lentil salad. The mint would make it refreshing!
I would probably put the rose petals in tea. Have fun!
