Sizzling Spiced Stove-Top Dinner Delight

Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the Spice Blend:
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, ground cumin, black pepper, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to ensure an even mix of spices.

2. Heat the Pan:
- Place a large saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Allow it to warm up for about 2 minutes.

3. Toast the Spices:
- Carefully add the prepared spice blend to the pan. Stir constantly for about 1 minute, or until the spices become aromatic. Be cautious not to burn them.

4. Infuse the Flavors:
- Add a tablespoon of cooking oil (such as olive oil) to the pan. Continually stir the spices in the oil for another 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop and infuse the oil.

5. Simmer to Completion:
- Once the spices are fully toasted and aromatic, turn off the heat. The infused oil can be used as a seasoning base for other dishes or as a marinade.
