GYRO SPICE MIX

Makes about ¾ cup

This simple mix can be used to season any vegetable, protein, sauce, or vinaigrette. It’s also a killer rub for roasted chicken or ribs or as a crust for quick-seared proteins like tuna.

¼ cup ground cumin

¼ cup ground cardamom

2 tablespoons cinnamon

1 tablespoon ground cloves

1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper

2½ teaspoons kosher salt

Combine all of the ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Stir with a spoon to thoroughly mix. The mixture will keep, tightly covered, for up to 3 months.
