Homemade Corned Beef Seasonings

Adapted from https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/recipes/corned-beef-seasonings/

I made this.

Servings: 3 tablespoons

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon mustard seeds (Use yellow or a combination of yellow and brown)
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon allspice berries
1/2 teaspoon cardamom seeds
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
4 whole cloves
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 bay leaves

STEPS

1) Heat a small pan to medium heat. Add the mustard seeds, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, allspice berries, cardamom seeds, celery seeds, and whole cloves. Lightly toast them in the dry pan for 1 minute, shaking/stirring a bit, to let the spices bloom.

2) Transfer to a food processor/spice grinder along with the red pepper flakes, ground ginger and bay leaves.

3) Process to a coarse blend, or to your preferred consistency. Use as desired.


NOTES

There is no salt in this spice blend. Corned beef is typically quite salty and does not need added salt. You can add salt to taste if desired.
