Ingredients

1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp thyme
1 tbsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Mix - Put all the ingredients into a bowl, mix briefly until well combined. I find the best thing is a mini whisk to break up any clumps of finely ground spices.
1 tbsp oregano, 1 tbsp thyme, 1 tbsp ground black pepper, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Store - Transfer to a storage jar with a good seal. I usually use a jam funnel for this to prevent spills.

Notes

Variations

Add some heat by adding some ground chilli.

Storage

As with all spices, store in a cool, dark, dry cupboard or drawer. The shortest date on the ingredients is the ‘best before’ date, though the spice mix will not go off if stored correctly. Write the best before date on a label, and stick it to the jar. The flavour will diminish over time if you keep it for years.

Usage

Use about 3-4 tsp of this seasoning blend per 500g/1lb of meat.

Before using the mixture, give the container a good shake to make sure everything is evenly distributed.
