Central Asian Seasoned Salt

This is from Steve Raichlen's BBQ Bible Sauces, Rubs and Marinades. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with Raichlen :)

The spices in this mix are traditional Afghan seasonings for grilling. I love this seasoned salt on steak. he says "generously sprinkle on lamb, beef, chicken or seafood before grilling".

1/4c coarse salt (kosher or sea, I think sea salt tastes better)
1 tbsp cracked black pepper
1 tbsp freeze-dried chives
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tbsp dried mint
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp hot paprika
2 tsp dried garlic flakes
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir to mix. Transfer to a jar, cover, and store away from heat and light. The salt will keep for several months.
