This is a great seasoning to throw on anything you might otherwise consider "plain". Kick it up a little!
Here's the volumetric* recipe for "Hot Green"
- 2 parts freeze dried chives
- 2 parts freeze dried shallots
- 2 parts whole green peppercorns
- 1 part dried minced garlic
- 1 part green chile flake
- 1 part kosher salt **
Grind all ingredients together. You may wish to crush the peppercorns and garlic first, since those are much harder than the other items, which crumble to dust easily.
* Why volumetric?
The freeze-dried ingredients are so unbelievable light weight that volumetric is just plain easier. Using a scale might be more precise, but only if you have a really sensitive scale!
** Why salt?
It's definitely optional, but using just 1 part is usually a good idea to prevent clumping and "stretch" the mix a little bit. Salt is much cheaper than spices, and this small amount isn't enough to treat the resulting mix as a one-step seasoning
