Paella Seasoning
A delicious aromatic spice blend to lend depth of flavour and colour to your paella without paying out for fancy souvenir spice tins!
Servings: 80 ml
Ingredients
- ¼ tsp saffron
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper - adjust to taste
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano - or thyme if preferred
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Assemble the ingredients and check that your storage jar is a suitable size.
- If your saffron comes in strands and not ready powdered, you need to crush or crumble it so that it will combine evenly with the other ingredients. Once this is done, put the saffron and all the other ingredients in a bowl.
- Mix well.
- Transfer your paella seasoning mix to a storage jar. Using a jam funnel will avoid mess and waste.
- Label and store in a cool, dry, dark place.
Notes
Storage
Store your homemade paella seasoning in a cool dark cupboard. Your 'best before' date will be the shortest date out of all the herbs and spices you used, though I find you get the best flavour by using it within a couple of months. Although best before is a guide, it doesn't mean you have to throw your mix away. If you keep it a long time, the flavour fades, so just use a little more.• Please note that the nutrition information provided below is approximate and meant as a guideline only.
