Peri Peri Spice
Description
This Peri Peri Spice mix combines salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, African bird eye chili powder, ground coriander, cumin, nutmeg, smoked paprika, onion powder, tomato powder, garlic powder, mustard powder or ground ginger, dried oregano, parsley, and optional brown sugar. The ingredients are simply mixed to create a layered flavor profile that brings together heat, smokiness, aromatic herbs, and savory depth.
Its balanced heat level and aromatic components make it ideal for seasoning chicken and other grilled meats, adding spice rubs to vegetables, or mixing into marinades and sauces.
