indian subcontinent would like a word with you

Then I’ll admit to be a tentacular monster. And might as well share my “Levantine” spice mix for other monsters here:

• 5 parts smoked paprika
• 5 parts black pepper
• 5 parts cinnamon
• 4 parts coriander seeds
• 4 parts cumin
• 3 parts allspice
• 3 parts cloves
• 2 parts cardamom
• 2 parts star anise
• 2 parts chili pepper
• 1 part nutmeg

Just blend them all together and store in an airtight container. This stuff is amazing in meats, specially beef.

What? Chinese 5 spice is the shit!
