Paella Spice Mix

These quantities are the recommendations for a 4 portion paella, so amend the quantities as per your portion size!

1. Saffron - 1/8 gram finely powdered.

2. Paprika - Hot, smoked, mild, or sweet, use 1-2 tablespoons of whichever paprika your tastebuds prefer! We have them all in different sizes! 

3. Cayenne Pepper - 1/2 a teaspoon but, if you like more heat, make it a full teaspoon!

4. Garlic Powder - 2 teaspoons.

5. Salt & Pepper - 1/2 a teaspoon of pepper and a sprinkling of salt.

You also can't go wrong with a bit of rosemary or oregano!

Mix these spices in a dry mixing bowl and seal in an airtight container for multiple uses, as this will keep the spices potent. 

Happy cooking!
