Recipe tip

COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Use it up:
Make your own Portuguese seasoning with spices you have in the pantry – combine 2 tbs ground paprika, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/4 tsp ground ginger, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/2 tsp dried oregano and 1/4 tsp thyme in a bowl. For some citrus flavour, stir in 2 tsp orange zest. Season.
