Spices and aromatic herbs mixtures

October 20, 2012

Last year I prepared two aromatic mixtures, the Mediterranean Aromatic Mixture and the Asian Aromatic Mixture. This summer I planned to prepare also a third one, with a middle eastern touch.

Herbs

I harvested and dried all aromatic herbs throughout the summer, and when I finally prepared the mixture the smell of toasted sesame and mint was amazing.

I didn't use any chili because my three years old son doesn't like hot recipes, but one or two Cayenne chilies should be added in a grown up version of this mixture.
