Instructions
Step 1
The mixture will turn out to be quite spicy, you need to add it to dishes in small quantities. Take a small frying pan. You do not need to lubricate it. Combine the spices first in a small cup. Put in 1 heaping teaspoon of oregano, add 15 grams of finely chopped chili and a pinch of saffron. Put all this in a skillet and heat a little. Be careful not to burn the contents. It only takes a few minutes to heat, just to make the spices more aromatic.
Step 2
Cool the mixture. Add a tablespoon of ground Jamaican pepper, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 4 tablespoons of paprika, and a few white peppercorns. It can also be pre-ground. Pour all this into a mortar and grind into a powder.
Step 3
Add 2 more tablespoons of brown sugar to the mixture and stir again. The mixture is ready to use. It can be added to dishes immediately, or you can save it for future use. To do this, take a clean, dry jar with a tight-fitting lid, transfer the mixture there and place in a cool dry place. With that many ingredients, you end up with a little less than a standard glass of Mexican blend.
Step 4
This mixture can be added to baked vegetables. Even ordinary potatoes will have an unusual taste. You can also put it in a chicken - you get not exactly a Mexican chicken, but something similar.
