So, from the depths of well, blatant stupidity and selective amnisia I come rising from the crappy sea of utter shittiness with ideas that need/should be mentioned.
Recently I've noticed within myself certain patterns of spicing and seasoning...certain combinations that seem to work in ways that I hadn't thought of. Since it's past 4AM my time and I'm not going to be going absolutly nuts with every combination but I've got a few good ones that are completely tasty.
Cumin + Cayenne + Lime(Favorite combo for marinating chicken either make a paste of it or add chicken stock to make a more loose marinade)
Cumin + Black Pepper + Rosemary(Rub onto some good beef or )
Cumn + Cayenne/Chili Flakes + Lemon Juice + Basil (this tastes bloody awesome when mixed with olive oil to coat pasta If so mix in with lemon zest it works like a Vinigrette, You can mix this well and make a kickass pasta salad)
Cumin + Black Pepper + Allspice + Cayenne + Coriander(Add Chili Powder and Tumeric and you'll have a kickass spice mixture for beans, Carribian soup, If you're thinking Chilli I suggest dropping the allspice unless you really like it...instead add a little Tumeric and some Cocoa powder it's really tasty and the Cocoa does help add some smoothness. )
Chipotle + Green Onions+ Roasted Garlic + Yogurt + Black Pepper (Trust me it's great, I've used this combo as a dip, but for sheer amazingness: Mix it into your mashed potato, it's tasty shit! Alternatively you can marinate chicken in this mixture to fantastic results.)
Chinese Five spice powder+ Black Pepper + Gold/Dark Rum (This combination is Amazing with a chicken and veggie stirfry don't go nuts with the black pepper, but I know it needs a tiny amount of Spice based heat.)
Salt + Cayenne + Black Pepper (This is MY favorite Steak rub, don't use too much of either spice the key thing is to use enough salt to create a nice crust when you first start the searing...you do not want to salt-crust this sucker, when you first cook up the steak, and when you like rare steak or even medium rare...it makes for a damned tasty Jus...I like using it on roasts too.)
Allspice + Cinnimon + Nutmeg (use this combination in a cream sauce to give it a little bit of kick, also: great over cooked apples)
Butter+ Brown sugar + Nutmeg + Peaches (yes it's a classy combination I found it delicious with Pork)
well, that's all the really awesome stuff I came up with the last little while. I hope to have some more succesful recipies, and post them
