Tips
- Avoid pouring the spice blend over hot or steaming food, this can expose the seasoning to moisture and cause it to clump.
- As I mentioned earlier in the post you can customize this all-purpose seasoning by adding one or two other spices of choice. For example, if I am cooking lamb, I would add rosemary to this seasoning or sage and fennel if I am cooking pork. If I fancy something Mediterraneanian then I add nutmeg and cinnamon
- Add cayenne pepper or chili flakes for a little bit of heat.
- You can grind all the spice and herbs in a dry mill blender for a finer texture if you prefer
