Seafood Magic Seasoning-Copycat - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground annatto seed (for red coloring more than for flavor)
2 teaspoons Hungarian paprika
1/4 teaspoon sage
1/4 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon ground ancho chili pepper, powdered (or powdered pasilla chilis)

Preparation

Mix all ingredients with a whisk and then grind in a mortar and pestle until above mentioned texture is obtained.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months for best flavor.
Re: the powdered chili peppers.You should not use chili powder, but rather the powdered chilis. Use the internet to find the best variety of spices. I like a company called Mild Bills for good bulk spices that are not overly expensive.
For example, Pasilla chilis have quick heat with a slight smoky flavor. Dark & roasty, with a heat Factor of 3.
