Step 1: Measure and Combine the Spices

1. Gather Your Ingredients: Measure out each of the ingredients—parsley, chives, cumin, chili powder, and onion powder—and place them in a small bowl.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

2. Combine the Spices: Using a whisk or spoon, mix all of the ingredients together thoroughly until well-combined. Make sure there are no clumps, and that the seasoning is evenly blended.

Step 3: Store in Airtight Containers

3. Transfer and Store: Pour the seasoning blend into an airtight container or spice jar. Label it with the date and name of the seasoning. Store it in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. It’s important to keep it sealed to preserve the freshness and potency of the spices.

How to Use:

• Grilled Dishes: Sprinkle this seasoning on steaks, burgers, or chicken before grilling. You can also use it in a marinade by mixing the seasoning with olive oil and lime juice for extra zest.
• Soups and Sauces: Stir this blend into soups, stews, sauces, and even salsas to enhance the overall flavor. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more as needed.
