Karen’s Caribbean All-Purpose Seasoning

Ingredients

• 1 ½ teaspoons allspice berries
• 1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground dried ginger
• 1 ½ teaspoons dried garlic
• 2 medium dried mild red chiles, Japones, seeded
• ½ teaspoon ground cloves
• 3 tablespoons curry powder*
• ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a spice grinder (can use a clean coffee grinder.)
2. Pulse until all blended with a little texture.
3. Add to a clean glass container and store in a dark, cool place.
4. * Curry used powder contains: turmeric, chili, coriander, garlic, cumin, cinnamon and bay leaves. Indian and Caribbean grocers sell fresh blends.
5. This is a mildly spicy seasoning with a little kick. Spiciness will depend on the heat and freshness of your chiles.
6. This is a low salt blend - I like to add more salt as needed in a recipe.
7. Use as an all-purpose seasoning on meats, poultry, vegetables and vegan proteins.
