Copycat HelloFresh Tuscan Heat Spice
Description
A bold, herby Italian seasoning blend with a gentle kick of cayenne and a hint of fennel — made at home in 5 minutes using HelloFresh's own 4-2-2-2-1-1 ratio.
Ingredients
- 4 teaspoons dried basil
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground fennel
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, use less for a milder blend
Instructions
- Measure each spice with measuring spoons rather than eyeballing it, so the 4-2-2-2-1-1 balance stays true to the original.
- If your rosemary or fennel is whole, crush it lightly in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
- Add all six spices to a small bowl and stir until evenly mixed.
- Transfer to a clean, airtight jar and store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
Notes
- Adjust the cayenne up or down to control the heat.
- For the brightest flavor, toast the blend in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes before using, or grind the rosemary and fennel fresh.
- Triple the recipe to keep a larger batch on hand.
