Portuguese Allspice
“Temperos Portuguese,” or Portuguese Allspice, is a tasty spice blend used to marinate meats and seafood, in stews and rice dishes. While you can usually find Portuguese Allspice in specialty stores, why not make your own? This 13 spice recipe is a blend of many of the spices you already have in your pantry. Spices like cinnamon, chili powder, nutmeg, cumin, paprika and allspice. Nothing exotic. Not too spicy. But with enhanced “warm” notes from the cinnamon and paprika. A refreshingly homemade spice blend that’s a perfect addition to your arsenal of flavors.
