Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tbsp Dried Marjoram
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tbsp Fine Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Ground Dried Rosemary
  • 1 tsp Ground Dried Thyme
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Allspice
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

Instructions:

  1. Place the 2 tbsp Dried Oregano, 1 tbsp Dried Marjoram, 1 tsp Ground Rosemary, and 1 tsp Ground Thyme into a small bowl.
  2. Incorporate the 1 tbsp Ground Cumin and 1/2 tsp Ground Allspice until the scent becomes warm and earthy.
  3. Stir in the 1 tbsp Fine Sea Salt, 1 tsp Black Pepper, and 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a spice grinder or mortar until the texture is uniform and slightly dusty.
  5. Take a quick sniff; it should smell balanced, not just like one single spice.
  6. Sprinkle the seasoning over your choice of ground meat (lamb and beef are classic) until the meat feels tacky and well distributed.
  7. Let the seasoned meat rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  8. Press the meat firmly into a pan or form into a cylinder until no air pockets remain.
  9. Roast at 300°F (150°C) until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  10. Allow the meat to sit for 15 minutes before carving.
