Summary: This is a spice mix based loosly on Chinese Five Spice
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tbsp star anis
- 1 1/2 tbsp fennel
- 3 2″ cinnamon sticks
- 1/2 tbsp black pepper
- 1/2 tbsp white pepper
- 1 tsp whole cloves
Instructions
- This recipe is a variation on the traditional chinese five spice. As always with the spice mixes – its just a starting point, vary the ingredients to suit your tastes. Roast all the spices in a skillet and then grind up in a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder. I use about 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp per 5 lbs bacon if I’m smoking it. Use less if you’re rubbing a pancetta.
