I made this dry spice mix a few times to make a fragrant seafood sauce, then tried it when frying croutons in olive oil, and to spice up a piece of fish fillet by blackening it. I do not put salt in this mix, the flavors are fragrant and exotic. This recipe is for two teaspoons, I made more to keep handy now that I like it.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
