Ingredients

Herbs And Spices

  • 1 1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon allspice (pimento)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves or ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • sea salt flakes to taste (start with 1 tsp and adjust)

Instructions

  • Add spices to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  • Store in an airtight spice jar for up to 6 months.

Notes

  • Mix up the salt. You can use pink Himalayan salt, Kosher salt, or even the regular table variety. BUT you will need to adjust the ratios of the ingredients you use.
  • Vary spices. Feel free to add a teaspoon more or less of the ingredients to your taste. Add-ons I have used include ground cardamom or dried oregano and dried dill. Delish!
  • Awesome rub. This makes an awesome rub and works great on chicken (of course), other meats, and fish which you can then cook up in a skillet, Instant Pot, Air Fryer or oven.
  • Make a big batch. Double or triple the recipe depending on how often you use this.
  • Make a paste. Sometimes it is easier to mix the seasoning blend with some oil and make a paste before rubbing on meat, veggies, etc.
  • Suitable for various diets. This is suitable for vegan, gluten-free, paleo, low carb, Keto, and Whole30 diets.
