FENNEL SPICE RUB



Fennel Spice Rub image

This is my favorite spice mixture. There is almost nothing it doesn't taste good on or in. Use it to make spice-encrusted pork ribs, chops or tenderloin; veal chops; chicken breasts; duck; beef; liver; or eggplant; or add a teaspoon to lentil soup. If you don't have time to make it, we do it for you, with our Fennel Spice Rub.

Time 10m

Yield 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup fennel seeds
3 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons white peppercorns
3 tablespoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat. Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly. When light brown and fragrant, pour the seeds onto a plate to cool. They must be cool before grinding, or they will gum up the blades.
  • Pour the seeds into a blender and add the salt. Blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender occasionally to redistribute the seeds. Store in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.

TOASTED FENNEL SPICE RUB

Made it up from other ideas. I like to make a spice mix to my own specifications without too much salt or none at all. Then add it as needed. Pepper is always optional or to taste.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 Cup Fennel Seeds
2 Tablespoons Coriander Seeds
1 Tablespoon Black Pepper
1/4 Cup New Mexican Chile Pepper Powder
1 Tablespoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Granulated Garlic

Steps:

  • Put the fennel, coriander and black peppercorns in a dry skillet and continue stirring on medium until you smell the aroma. Toasting brings out the flavors. GRIND in your spice ( coffee) mill. Add to the rest and store in a tight lidded jar.

FIVE SPICE



Five Spice image

At once musky and sweet, with a pronounced kick, five spice is traditionally made from equal parts cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds, star anise and peppercorns (usually Sichuan or white). This one, adapted from Kian Lam Kho, the author of "Phoenix Claws and Jade Trees: Essential Techniques of Authentic Chinese Cooking" (Clarkson Potter, 2015), includes Sichuan peppercorns to give the mix a characteristically numbing, tingly sensation on the tongue known as mala. Once the spices are toasted and mixed, the blend can be used both whole (simmered into stews, braises and soups) and ground (added to sauces, roasted meats and vegetables). Or, stir some salt into the ground blend and use it as a piquant table condiment: It's wonderful sprinkled on everything from barbecued meats to scrambled eggs.

Time 5m

Yield 1/4 cup ground spice blend

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (2-inch/5-gram) piece cassia bark or cinnamon stick, broken into pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons/5 grams fennel seeds
5 whole star anise pods (5 grams)
3 1/2 teaspoons/5 grams Sichuan peppercorns
2 teaspoons/5 grams whole cloves

Steps:

  • Place a small skillet over medium heat. Add spices and toast, stirring, until fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes. Pour into a small bowl and set aside to cool. If using the whole spices for a braise, they are ready to go.
  • To make the spices into a powder, use a spice grinder, clean coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle to grind the spices until fine. If you like, you can strain the mix through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any coarse bits, but this is optional. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.

ROASTED PORK WITH FENNEL SPICE RUB

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups thinly-sliced onions
Gray salt
freshly-ground pepper
1-1/2 tsp. finely-chopped fresh sage
1/2-cup water
4 lbs. pork leg or shoulder, at room temperature
About 1/4-cup Fennel Spice (recipe follows)
1 cup fennel seeds
3 Tbs. coriander
2 Tbs. white peppercorns
3 Tbs. kosher salt

Steps:

  • PORK: Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until hot. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 1 minute. Add the sage and cook until the onions stop releasing water (about 3 minutes). Add the water, cover and cook until the onions are very tender (about 10 minutes). Uncover and saute until the onions are very soft and the pan is dry again (about 2 minutes). Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Peel back the pork skin and spread the onions directly on the fat layer. Fold the skin back over the onions and tie closed with kitchen string. Season well all over with the Fennel spice. Arrange the meat on a rack in a roasting pan and cook until the meat is very tender (approx. 6-8 hours). The meat is ready when it pulls away easily if picked at with a pair of tongs. It is often easiest to cook the meat overnight or put it in the oven in the morning and let it cook all day - it doesn't need to be attended.
  • FENNEL SPICE RUB: Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat. Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly. When light-brown and fragrant, pour the seeds onto a plate to cool. They must be cool before grinding or they will gum up the blades. Pour the seeds into a blender or spice grinder and add the salt. Blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender or grinder occasionally to redistribute the seeds. Store in a tightly-sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
