Notes
- Mortar and pestle: It’s great if you use it; this way, you can grind the dried herbs a bit finer. However, if you don’t have it, you can leave the mixture as it is. Alternatively, you can grind the spices in a small food processor or spice/coffee grinder; however, don’t turn everything to a powder; you should still be able to recognize the herbs in the mixture.
- Salt: It’s preferable to use fine sea salt or kosher salt. Table salt (iodized) is too potent, and the seasoning might be too salty. If you still want to use it, reduce the amount a bit.
- Pepper: The black pepper I used is finely ground but not powdered. If using powdered pepper, you will also need a bit less.
- Garlic: If using granules, use about 2 ½ teaspoons and try to grind them as finely as possible in a mortar and pestle before adding the rest of the spices to the mortar.
- How much do I have? About ¾ cup/ 180 g/ 9-10 tablespoons.
