About

This is my own special seasoning blend that can be used in or on many things. It keeps well in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator, so it is worth multiplying. It is used in Spicy Kisses and Simplest Lunch.

Ingredients

½ teaspoon ground star anise (1 or 2 whole star anise)
1

Condiment
Gluten-free
Vegan

Method

Place the star anise in a mini food processor (or coffee grinder) and pulse until pulverized. Pour the powder into a mesh strainer over a small metal bowl to get rid of any remaining chunks. Add the other ingredients and mix well.
