Russian Red Spice Blend - Chef Daniel Orr


Chef's Notes:
Great Slavic flavors you can use on game, veggie dishes, stuffed cabbage, stews, and roasts. I love it on beets and in borscht. Try it on roasted venison or vegetarian goulash. It is also nice as a sprinkle on your stuffed picnic eggs. Hungarian paprika can step in if you don’t have time to make this blend. Also try smoky and spicy smoked Spanish paprika. It rocks.

Ingredients:
1 stick cinnamon (1⁄2'')
1 tsp caraway seeds
1 tsp annatto seeds
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp fennel seeds
2 tsp orange peel, dried
1 piece star anise
1 T paprika
3 juniper berries
1⁄4 tsp cayenne powder

Procedure:
Place ingredients in a spice grinder and blend until a fine, consistent powder forms. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
