Seven Spice Mix



Seven Spice Mix
Originally found at All Recipes

1/2 cup ground black pepper
1/2 cup ground cumin
1/2 cup paprika
1/4 cup ground coriander
1/4 cup ground cloves
4 teaspoons ground nutmeg
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground cardamom

Mix together all ingredients. Store in an airtight container.

My Notes:
This. Is. Spicy. There's a whole lot of black pepper in there, so I'm just giving you a heads up. It smells great, though. I've used it a few times on chicken, and it's always turned out marvelously. I tried to mix it together in a rice dish with the chicken, and it was way too spicy for me to finish. So you definitely need something to balance out the heat.

The easiest thing to make with this, other than just chicken and rice, is wraps. Throw a little hummus and lettuce along with the seasoned chicken (cooked however you want; I generally pan fry) into a whole wheat tortilla. Roll up and enjoy.
