Delicious in your Recipe #257630, where it is called for as an ingredient. I omitted the nutmeg and mace and added Recipe #79179 in their place! I'd like to know another recipe or two or three that call for this mix.

This mixture is great. Like the others, I also agree that the flavor is exotic and has the smallest "kick" from the cayenne. I used this on chicken legs. They turned out really good. I did store the remaining spices for use at a later date. I'll be using it again soon. Thanks for the recipe.

This is fabulous rubbed on Ribs. I let them sit in the fridge for a couple hours before cooking and I think it gave the ribs an extra zip as the exotic flavors mingled. Will definitely make more of this, keep some in the pantry ;) (Made for Bevy Tag 08)

Great combination! Smells wonderful. I used it in Engrossed's recipe #257630, which you gotta try! This would be a great rub for ribs before grilling!

this smells like persia. i made it up tonight, and cant wait to actually cook with it. I agree with annacia, red meat is ideal as is lamb. Will update when i use it in cooking
