I love making a regular batch of this blend. It's my secret weapon, it should basically be encased in glass and labeled "in case of boring food emergency." It's a little bit of an investment in spices to make this, but it's worth it. A batch will last several months in a closed container. You can add a dash of this to meat dishes- it's equally good in chicken and beef, vegetable dishes, meat pies, quiche, soups, and anything that needs a little kick in the pants flavor. I absolutely love the play of savory and typically sweet spices here. Turmeric, cayenne, with cinnamon, nutmeg. It would be the perfect complement to pork with a fruit-based pan sauce or chicken with apricots or dates.
Combine well in a medium mixing bowl.
Store in a closed container in a dry place.
