This blend consists of granulated garlic, black pepper, thyme, cumin, oregano, sweet paprika, and flavor enhancer E-621, creating a harmonious mix of earthy, spicy, and aromatic flavors. The most common use is in marinades and dry rubs for meats such as pork, beef, and chicken. To prepare grilled ribs, mix 2 tablespoons of the spice blend with olive oil and lemon juice, rub it well into the meat, and let it rest for at least 2 hours before slow-cooking it on the grill. This blend is also great for adding flavor to grilled vegetables, burgers, or roasted potatoes. In some traditions, it is incorporated into homemade sauces to bring extra depth to the dishes.
