A Spicy Recipe Rub – Help for Inflammation
A few weeks ago I was discussing the anti-inflammatory diet. Since a big component in this diet and food plan includes adding in specific spices I thought I’d share a great recipe I came across on EatingWell.com. It’s a “rub” which can be used on most protein sources; it contains very few calories and has all the great benefits of fighting inflammation regardless of your own diet plan! So here it is:
ACTIVE/TOTAL PREP TIME: 5 minutes
EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy
- 6 Tablespoons curry powder
- 3 Tablespoons coarse salt
- 4 teaspoons crushed red pepper
- 1 Tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 Tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 Tablespoon dried mint
- 2 teaspoons turmeric
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
Combine curry powder, salt, crushed red pepper, cumin, coriander, mint,
turmeric and ginger in a small bowl. "Rub" on your favorite protein source and cook as desired. Note: not for those of you who prefer milder tastes although you could easily eliminate the red pepper and still get some great benefits.
