Here in Cammie's Kitchen we use a lot of spice. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT. Like we should probably own stock in the spice industry a lot. Yeah we love our spice.
One of our favorite ways to "spice it up" is with a spice combo for blackening chicken or fish. I found a recipe that I absolutely love and just have to have on hand All. The. Time. I think it's the smoked papricka that puts it over the top. You could follow the recipe and make a single use portion, but it's so easy to make bunch to keep on hand; so go ahead and do it. You can thank me later.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (cut in half if you prefer less spicy)
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together and store in a cool, dry place. Will stay fresh for three months if sealed well.
- To use: coat whatever meat or fish you’re using with extra-virgin olive oil, just enough to coat, then coat liberally with spice mix. Grill, broil, roast or saute as desired.
