This spice mix, best known as "blackening spice," can be rubbed generously on chicken, fatty fish, steaks, or vegetables before pan broiling, grillikng, or sauteing. It will transform into a tangy, deeply carmelized crust as the food cooks. Expect the spices to smoke some during cooking.

Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl. This rub will stay potent, covered and kept in a cool, dark, dry place for up to 6 weeks.
