Mellow Yellow Spice Blend - Chef Daniel Orr


Chef's Notes:
Mellow Yellow gives you the flavors of western Asia without the full throttle flavor of a traditional curry. Mellow Yellow flavors and colors like curry but allows the natural flavors of your ingredients to come through. Try it on lighter meats like poultry, pork, or veal as well as seafood and veggies. It is also great in dips, sauces, and vinaigrettes. Try it in West Indian dishes as well. Curry is a good substitute.

Ingredients:
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp cardamom seeds
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp orange peel, dried
2 ea. bird peppers, dried, or small hot chilies (or to taste)

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