Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 1/2 teaspoons granulated garlic
- 2 1/2 teaspoons dehydrated toasted onion ground
- 3 tablespoons paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder (gives a nice smoky taste with heat)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried lemon peel* ground with a little texture
Instructions
- The method depends on if you are grinding your own spices OR purchasing them ground.
- I grind my own spices to achieve the perfect consistency.I use a spice grinder, and grind these herbs and spices so they have a fine coarsely-ground consistency - but not too ground that it's a powder.
- To Make: Combine all ingredients well. Add salt to your liking. Store in a glass container with a tight seal away from heat or light.
Notes
When spices are ground right before using - the best and freshest blend is achieved.
And - the freshness of the spices is important too! *Lemon Rind: You can dehydrate the peels, then grind.
Alternately - finely grate the rind, place on a piece of parchment paper
and air dry in the sun. This recipe may not be reproduced without the consent of its author, Karen Sheer
