Making your own spice blends can add extra flavour to your cooking-it also makes it quicker to cook again if you have ready-made mixes. Spices are a great way to experiment with flavour so feel free to make your own mixtures.
For the recipes below we use 1 tablespoon of each spice which makes enough spice blend to make about 4 recipes.
“Store the spice blend in a jar with a tight-fitting lid.”
Yellow Spice Blend
Ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander and ginger
Orange Spice Blend
Sweet paprika, cinnamon, ground cumin and ground turmeric
Red Spice Blend
Smoked paprika, sweet paprika, red pepper flakes, sumac
Green Herb Blend
Dried oregano, dried chives, dried coriander, dried mint
“Make sure you keep your spice blend in a cool dark place, they lose their flavour if kept in bright sunshine.”
