"Hot Green" Goes on Anything Bland

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Granulated Garlic (Chunkier than powder for better control of grind size)
• 1 tablespoon Green Peppercorns (Whole dried; can substitute black peppercorns or a medley)
• 2 tablespoons Freeze‑Dried Shallots (Not dried; provides true minced‑shallot flavor)
• 2 tablespoons Freeze‑Dried Chives (Cheap and easy to find; adds gentle oniony note)
• 1 teaspoon Green Chili Flakes (Mild and floral; optional for a subtle heat)

Instructions

1. Gather Ingredients

   Measure out the granulated garlic, green peppercorns, freeze‑dried shallots, freeze‑dried chives and green chili flakes into a small bowl.

   Time: PT3M

2. Grind the Blend

   Transfer the measured spices to the spice grinder (or mortar and pestle / small blender) and pulse until you reach your desired texture—coarse grainy or fine powder.

   Time: PT5M

3. Optional Sift

   If you want both a fine and a coarse version, sift the ground mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Return the larger particles to the grinder for a second pulse.

   Time: PT2M

4. Store the Seasoning

   Transfer the finished blend into an airtight jar, label with the date, and store in a cool, dry pantry.

   Time: PT2M

5. Use as Desired

   Shake onto eggs, potatoes, chicken, or mix with sour cream for a one‑step dip. Add salt separately to control salinity.

   Time: PT3M
