Spice Mix

This mix of spices is something I use quite often as it's easy to make if you have the spices, and you can use it with so many different things. It goes very well with as the major flavouring of cous cous, as a rub on meats, or in a casserole or slow cooker for a bit of spice and flavour to the dish.

1tsp cumin seeds
1tsp corriander seeds
1tsp mustard seeds
1/2tsp fenugreek seeds
1tsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
salt and pepper to season
strip of lemon rind


Step 1
Place the seeds into a pestle and mortar and grind them down. Add the olive oil and garlic to the ground seeds and mix well to form a paste. Season with salt and pepper, then add to the dish with the lemon rind.
