African Adobo Spice Mix

Submitted by Studentchef

"This is from Canadian Living magazine, from two years ago. I've been going through my magazines and cookbooks to see what I have and was suprised to find this. I guess this is a general spice mix, used throughout Africa, although, if you go from country to country you might find some kind of variations."
