Uses for Our Spice Mix
'Spice rub' - This is a great standard practice with dry spice especially if you are grilling, this is great on chicken or vegetables.
TIP: Depending on the cut or type, it can be good to pat dry the protein to remove all the moisture but sometimes a little oil massage in so the spice can stick is the secret.
Spiced Beef Mince
The best thing about spices if how adaptable they can be, its one of those very important point that if your main protein is tasty everything will follow.
Let your imagination run wild once you get your beef mince spice up with our dry spice mix.
As the Irish counter part to La Cocina Cuevas, I love when my partner Jeremy uses this mix in a shepherd's pie. That lovely spice coming through with potatoes and fresh peas, it is a hearty dinner I dream.
But if I want to feel on holidays then in tacos it is a perfect mix!
