Ingredients
Method
- Mix and store in an airtight jar in a dark place. Before you use it, salt the meat, then put the spices in a small frying pan over a medium heat, no oil, and toast the mix for no longer than a minute. Turn off the heat the moment it becomes highly aromatic. This is called blooming the spices and helps pull the aromatic oils to the surface. Use it generously, but not thickly. It is great on grilled meat, but you can also use it on stew meat or braised meat if you brown it first.
Notes
About the ground cubeb berries. This optional ingredient is hard to find, but its exotic licorice flavor really amps it up.
About the salt. Remember, Morton's coarse kosher salt is half the concentration of table salt so if you use table salt, use half as much. Click here to read more about salt and how it works.
