It’s very possible that this is one of our favorite blends. It kinda has a habit of vanishing from the store room. Coincidentally, many desks in the office smell of thyme, black pepper, bell pepper, and mustard seed.
This blend of European and African spices makes a delightful rub, but we have a few particular uses we adore. Vinaigrettes with red wine and a spicy olive oil makes for a fantastic use of it – either on a salad or a straight-up poultry marinade. Add to pickling jars for dilly beans that will astound. Lastly, make a brine laced with this blend and very, very lowly simmer potatoes until soft. Next, roast them quick and hard with a dash of salt and more of this peppery blend.
