Chorizo Spice MIx

From Kitchn.

As a starting point, I recommend the chorizo spice blend from Nancy Lopez-McHugh at Honest Cooking. In addition to chile powder, cumin, and coriander, this heady mix includes cloves and cinnamon, which give it warmth and depth, and aromatic herbs like bay leaves, oregano, and thyme. I like using Mexican oreganoand a blend of ancho, guajillo, and chimayo chiles.


1 tbsp. cumin seed
1 tsp. coriander seedhttp://www.thekitchn.com/chorizo-spice-mix-185954
5 whole cloves
2 bay leaves
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. thyme
1 tbsp. granulated garlic
1 tsp. sea salt
5 whole peppercorns (or 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper)
2 tbsp. Ancho chile powder OR substitute with a combination of
2 tbsp. paprika mixed with 1/2 tsp. cayenne powder OR
2 tbsp. paprika mixed with 1 tsp. red chili powder
3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar (can substitute with
red wine vinegar)
*Handling chili powders can cause burning to your hands. I
highly advice to use plastic gloves for handling the chili and
chorizo.
