Spiced Chile Sauté

Ingredients

- 1 tablespoon ground dried chiles
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

1. Preheat your skillet:
Begin by placing a large sauté pan over medium heat. Allow it to heat up for approximately 2 minutes to ensure even cooking.

2. Prepare the spice mix:
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon ground dried chiles, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon coriander, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. Mix these spices thoroughly to create a well-balanced seasoning.

3. Saute the spice blend:
Add a splash of oil (about 2 tablespoons) to the heated pan. Once the oil is shimmering, gently sprinkle in the prepared spice mix. Stir constantly for about 1 minute to allow the spices to bloom and release their aromas. Be cautious not to burn the spices, as this could create a bitter taste in your dish.

4. Finish and serve:
Once the spices are fragrant and well-incorporated with the oil, your spiced chile sauté is ready to enhance a dish of your choice. You can use this as a base for vegetables, chicken, or tofu to add a rich, smoky flavor.
