SPICED LAVENDER SEASONING

Spiced Lavender Seasoning image

From Sharon Shipley's 'The Lavender Cookbook'. I replaced thyme in the original recipe with a mixture of summer savory and marjoram because we don't like thyme. Also, I substituted one quarter teaspoon of regular sea salt with 'Durango' smoked salt. There are many, many uses for this seasoning and not limited to a rub for chicken, fish, fried tofu, ribs...Or, mix with a little bit of olive oil for a spread on bread, add to a simple vinaigrette, roasted vegetables, eggs, etc. Experiment!

Yield 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 tablespoons cumin seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seed
2 tablespoons dried culinary 'provence' lavender buds (be certain the lavender buds are culinary grade and not sprayed with pesticides!)
2 tablespoons summer savory (this replaced thyme) or 2 tablespoons marjoram (this replaced thyme)
2 tablespoons achiote powder (Also known as annatto. I prefer ground achiote over the paste.)
1 tablespoon fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

Toast the cumin seeds and coriander seeds in a dry skillet (I like to use my cast iron skillet for these type of recipes) over medium heat until fragrant; about 2-4 minutes. Lower the temperature if necessary to avoid burning the seeds.
Transfer the seeds to a spice grinder; add the lavender buds. PULSE until finely ground.
Now add the summer savory, marjoram or thyme, achiote, black pepper and salt. PULSE.
Transfer to an airtight container and store in a cool, dark place up to 2 months. Note: I made a small batch (1/4 cup) for the test recipe.

LAVENDER RUB

My Mom clipped this recipe out of the local newspaper. A multi-purpose herb/spice rub for meats-chicken, lamb, even fish; vegetables such as corn on the cob, baked potato, etc. Use your imagination but use sparingly! Update: This is wonderful on simple roasted whole chicken!

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh lavender buds. If you can't find fresh lavender, you can use dried lavender buds, but be sure to use half the amount.
If you don't have a spice grinder, you can use a mortar and pestle to grind the spices.
Store the seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 6 months.
Use the seasoning to flavor roasted chicken, grilled fish, or sautéed vegetables. You can also add it to soups, stews, and rice dishes.
Be careful not to use too much of the seasoning, as it can be overpowering. A little goes a long way.

Conclusion:

Spiced lavender seasoning is a versatile and flavorful blend that can be used to add a touch of elegance to any dish. It's perfect for roasted chicken, grilled fish, sautéed vegetables, and even desserts. With its unique floral and earthy flavor, this seasoning is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. So next time you're looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your food, reach for the spiced lavender seasoning. You won't be disappointed.
