Notes

  • Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational and personal use only. 
  • Though the list of required ingredients is long, don’t be overwhelmed. The good thing about this spice blend is that it’s variable. You can google good substitutions or even omit something that you don’t have. It’s very forgiving. 
  • If you want a less spicy blend, you can cut down on the cayenne/chili pepper in the blend! All of the flavor with less of the spice.
