SPICE MIX

Put together with store-bought dried herbs and bottled. I find it very handy for soups, grills, sandwiches, rolls and salads.

Makes: Around 120 grams of herb and spice mix

Ingredients:

  • Dried Oregano – 9 grams
  • Dried Thyme – 15 grams
  • Dried Parsley – 15 grams
  • Dried Basil -12 grams
  • Dried Rosemary – 8 grams
  • Onion powder – 80 grams
  • Skinless fresh Garlic flakes – 1 cup full
  • Peppercorns – ¼ cup

Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Spread out the garlic flakes on to a baking tray and bake at 180°C until they are crisp and golden brown. Should take around 10 minutes. Keep an eye on the flakes though, as they go very quickly from golden brown to burnt.
  • Move the flakes around a little, every 5 minutes or so to help them crisp evenly. Cool the garlic flakes completely.
  • After the roasting process, it would also be wise to squish random flakes of garlic to ensure that they are all crisp. This is a powder spice mix. You don’t want it to turn into a paste.
  • Similarly, roast the peppercorns too and cool completely.
  • Powder fine, all the roasted garlic, peppercorns together with the dried herbs and onion powder.
  • Bottle and store.
