Notes
Utilize freshly ground coffee for optimal aroma and flavor; a medium or dark roast is recommended. Ensure your hot smoked Spanish paprika is fresh for that distinct smoky note. The flaky sea salt adds texture, but feel free to adjust the quantity based on your preference for saltiness. This blend excels as a rub for grilled or roasted meats, such as steak or pork, or as a finishing sprinkle on roasted root vegetables. Proper storage in a sealed, dark container away from heat is crucial for maintaining the blend's potency.
