This seasoning mix is excellent to have on hand to sprinkle on cooked or uncooked fish, vegetables, or snacks. It does not have quite as strong a flavor as the rub and the marinade. To increase the heat, add more cayenne.

Yield: 3 tablespoons

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon onion flakes
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons ground thyme
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground pimento (allspice)
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons dried chives or green onions

Method:
Mix together all the ingredients. Store leftovers in a tightly closed glass jar. It will keep its pungency for over a month.
