Sikoroot

Sikoroot was a herb used in cooking. The Volpai sous-chef Robbs Ely used a hint of sikoroot while making a sauce to served with bantha meat at the castle of the pirate Maz Kanata shortly before his death at the hands of the BD-3000 luxury droids J'Nell and Carly. While investigating Ely's murder, the castle's head chef Strono Tuggs recognised the hint of sikoroot while sniffing a portion of the sauce that had been left as fingerprints by the chef Jom Jarusch on the keypad to Ely's quarters, from which Jarusch had stolen the Volpai's secret recipe book following the sous-chef's death. Jarusch then used the recipe book to create the same sauce with sikoroot during a cooking competition that Tuggs set up to catch Ely's killer.

Behind the scenes
Sikoroot first appeared in the short story "A Recipe for Death", which was written by Landry Q. Walker and published as part of the Tales From a Galaxy Far, Far Away Volume I: Aliens anthology book released on April 5, 2016.
