This is my own variant of a classic herb and spice mix used by restaurants and fast food restaurants as a basic spice blend in Nigeria. It is a mix of more common herbs and spices as well as traditional 'Pepper Soup' spices.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp Scotch Bonnet chilli powder
6 tbsp paprika
4 tbsp ground black pepper
1 tsp Senegal pepper, ground (the small, black, smoked variety)
1 tsp Ashanti pepper, ground
6 uzazi peppercorns, ground (optional)
4 tsp dried thyme leaves, ground
3 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp garlic powder
2 tsp dried bitterleaf, ground (substitute dried dandelion leaves)

Method:

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir with a fork to mix thoroughly. Spoon into a jar, seal with a tight-fitting lid and store in a cool, dark, cupboard.

This is a basic seasoning blend that can be used with chicken, turkey, goat meat, beef or giant African land snails.
