Instructions

1

Preparation

3 Minuten

Weigh all spices. Briefly rub the dried thyme and oregano between your palms to release the essential oils.

2

Mixing

3 Minuten

Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl until a homogeneous, deep red-brown blend is formed.

3

Storing

2 Minuten

Fill the mixture into an airtight jar, label and store at room temperature in a dark place. Shelf life approx. 4 months.

Pro Tip

For authentic blackening, briefly dip the meat in melted butter before rubbing with the spice mix – this creates the perfect, slightly charred crust.
