I like to use my spice grinder and make my own. I made some Chinese five spice powder a couple weeks ago when I made duck breast tacos rubbed with this and then seared.

thats amazing. ive never thought to do that. im always buying them though. ive got several grinders though. suppose i can clean one out and try that myself......

where do you get your spices to grind?

a reply to: TinySickTears

It depends on what ones I need. I can find a good deal at both the local Asian and Indian markets. Some I grow myself. It really relies on what dish I am making.

I make my own curries so I toast and then grind my own spices for these dishes, you can absolutely taste the difference. The nice thing is they seem to stay fresher longer.

loving you right now dude.

i need to get some curry going. i like to make bunny chow. my buddy hooked me up with some legit curry from south africa but im out. i tried it once with the curry you can get in the spice aisle at the grocery store but it is definitely not the same

Did you do a thread on that? The name sounds familiar.

Yeah, make your own curry, soooo much better than the jarred stuff that has almost no flavor. Your house may stink for a few days but it tastes so damn good (or you could toast it all outside on the grill).

i might have to man cause i love making bunny. the curry you get at the store has no flavor like you say and the # is orange. not supposed to be orange

For pork I do when grilling. Years ago my uncle served up an awesome dish of chops covered in a rub he made. Cajun but not really spicy, just enough. I've been trying to reproduce it for years and get a little closer but it still is missing something and the bastard won't tell me what.

Generally a mix of cayenne, black peppercorns, salt, onion, garlic, and red pepper. Still needs tweaking.

Mine usually turns out slightly more yellow because of the turmeric I grind. Any good coffee grinder can double as a spice grinder.

Tell them they're wusses if the need to eat or drink anything with it.

That reminds me, I need to plant some more turmeric and ginger this year.

As for the coffee, I roast my own beans from around the world. I do love trader joes, and there is one a half mile from here, but, I prefer real fresh home made rubs

i rarely like the flavor (and never like the ingredients) in premade rubs. I just make my own, and usually make it when i need it.

When you grind a spice, the edges of the particles oxidize and lose flavor. The less oxidized surface you have going onto your meat gives you more flavor. So i just keep heaps of dried chiles and herbs (or frozen herbs made into a pesto...thats how i save my garden each year....just make pesto ice cubes) and grind when needed.

Conan? What is best in life?

To feed crushed ghost peppers to your enemies, to see them puking before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

I never heard of a rub with coffee grounds in it! Is this the best rub you've ever tried? I'll definitely have to try some if I come across it. Unfortunately we don't have a Trader Joes where I live. We do however have an Aldi's which I guess is part of Trader Joes, but they usually don't sell the same stuff.

a reply to: WeRpeons

i dont think it is the best i have ever had but it is damn good.
