Awesome Spice mix

So I watched Rachel Ray the other day and she made an awesome spice blend of some spices I just so happened to have all of but the sumac.  However, I had Paprika, so I give Rachel the credit here and add my hint to it.  This is from a show that aired March 5, 2013.  It highlighted Chicken Caesar Salad with this spice blend on the chicken.  I put it on a ribeye steak about 30 minutes before I threw it on the ol' George Foreman Grill.  It was delightfully understated.  Can't wait to try it on chicken.

I mixed up about 1:1 tbsp (except the thyme and parsley 2:1) of this blend and put it in an empty spice jar.

  • 1 tablespoon ground sumac or paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/3 palmful
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or ground red pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 
 I'm thinking this might be a kind of cool gift for a friend I know would love to add this to her chicken or whatever meat she's grilling.  I'm going out tomorrow, so maybe I will find a little jar to put it in and share the mix with her.
