This looks like a lot of ingredients but an active cook will have these to hand. Nothing too exotic! Simply mix together:

  • 1 tbs onion powder
  • 1 tbs garlic powder
  • 2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1-2 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tsp golden caster sugar
  • 1 tsp ground allspice
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp dried pepper flakes
  • 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 tsp ground cloves
  • 0.5 tsp ground cumin

Tip #1: I didn’t have any dried parsley. Turned out fine.

Tip #2: If you only have whole spices (black pepper, cloves, chilli pepper flakes) then put whole spices all together in a spice grinder. I have a cheap IKEA coffee grinder reserved for that purpose.
