Experimental Wednesdays: Masala Meat Rub

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 full tablespoons of green Cardamom Pods
• 3 tablespoons whole Cloves
• 3 sticks or pieces of cinnamon
• ½ cup Fennel Seeds
• 1 tablespoon Black Pepeprcorns
• 1 Nutmeg

METHOD:

Dry roast all the above ingredients until the aromas are released – they will emit a heady fragrance. Once the spices have cooled grind until fine in a spice grinder. Use to flavour curries or as a meat rub.

This salad and steak combo, minus visible fat and the salad dressed with only salt, pepper and vinegar, has just 350 calories. Great for the 5 2 Diet. I found this recipe at My Heart Beets.
