Notes
Tips!
Don't have Herbamare (or know what it is)? No problem. Can use a pinch or two of sea salt, and some oregano would be nice too if you have on hand.
Don't have chipolte powder? Can use smoked paprika and if you like it spicy, red cayenne pepper or chili pepper would be nice to.
Want something less spicy or on the sweeter side?
Swap out the chipolte, herbamare and cumin for cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. May need to add a bit of sea salt to round the flavours out. But just a sprinkle.
