Mediterranean Spice Blend
Following the Mediterranean diet? This Mediterranean spice blend that you make at home mixes up in just minutes with only six ingredients.
Homemade Mediterranean spice blend allows you to control the amount of each spice in your mixture.
Bringing together all the flavors of Italy, Greece and Northern Africa, this blend is delightful on your favorite meat and vegetable dish.
I like mixing up my own blends because then I know exactly what ingredients were used and I can control the quantities to suit my tastes.
No matter what your cooking skill level is, you can pull this Mediterranean spice blend together.
Variations:
Try the recipe as written and see how that works for you. If you’re not a fan of cumin, then try the recipe a second time and use a smaller quantity.
Do you love the aroma and flavor of rosemary? Then next time, increase that quantity. You can play around with the amounts using trial and error to find your happy place.
Use dried herbs and spices when mixing up this Mediterranean spice blend. Dried herbs and spices are easier to find than fresh, unless you’ve got a great herb garden in your backyard.
If you use fresh herbs, you’ll want to triple the measurement. Dried herbs are much more intense in flavor than fresh.

Make It a Meal:
For my first test, I used this Mediterranean Spice blend as a rub on some chicken breasts. I rubbed the chicken with a bit of olive oil, then rubbed the spice over it. I let them rest for a couple of hours before baking the chicken. It was delicious and super moist.
