Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for added heat)
- 4 whole cloves
- 2 cardamom pods
- 1 cinnamon stick (broken into at least 2 pieces)
- 4 Dried bay leaves (crumbled)
- ยฝ teaspoon ground ginger
Method
- In a dry pan over medium heat, add black peppercorns, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), cloves, cardamom pods, and the pieces of cinnamon stick.
- Toast the spices for approximately 1 minute, stirring constantly to ensure they don't burn but become fragrant. This process helps to bloom the spices, releasing their full aromatic potential.
- Once toasted, transfer the spices to a spice grinder. Add in the crumbled bay leaves and ground ginger.
- Blend the mixture until it reaches a coarse texture. If you prefer a finer consistency, blend for a longer period.
- Storage: Transfer the seasoning blend to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use as needed, especially for flavoring corned beef briskets.
