Step-by-step
- Add all ingredients to a small airtight jar and close with a lid.
- Shake to combine.
Opening a jar of freshly blended spices releases a sharp aroma dominated by earthy cumin and smoky paprika, outperforming any store-bought packet sitting on a supermarket shelf for months. Whole or newly opened ground spices retain volatile oils crucial for deep flavor profiles. Buying small quantities ensures maximum potency every time you mix a batch.
Selecting and Storing Your Spices
Ground spices begin losing their aromatic compounds within six months of opening, particularly when exposed to light and heat. Store this blend in a dark pantry inside an airtight glass jar to extend its viability up to six months. If substituting dried oregano with fresh herbs, dehydrate them thoroughly first; moisture introduces mold into dry spice blends. Ensure the storage container is completely bone-dry before adding powders to prevent clumping. Pair this vibrant seasoning with rich proteins like charred skirt steak or roasted sweet potatoes, as their natural sweetness balances the heavy salinity and heat.
- Use an airtight glass jar to prevent moisture absorption.
- Keep the spice blend away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Discard the mixture if it loses its pungent aroma after six months.
