Seafood Magic Seasoning-Copycat

• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon ground annatto seed (for red coloring more than for flavor)
• 2 teaspoons Hungarian paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon sage
• 1/4 teaspoon rosemary
• 1 teaspoon ground ancho chili pepper, powdered (or powdered pasilla chilis)

1. Mix all ingredients with a whisk and then grind in a mortar and pestle until above mentioned texture is obtained.
2. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months for best flavor.
3. Re: the powdered chili peppers.You should not use chili powder, but rather the powdered chilis. Use the internet to find the best variety of spices. I like a company called Mild Bills for good bulk spices that are not overly expensive.
4. For example, Pasilla chilis have quick heat with a slight smoky flavor. Dark & roasty, with a heat Factor of 3.
