of this spice mix should i use? The spice mix is vapidly becoming a firm favourite.

I’d like to add some ground sumac to this blend. How much would you suggest and
would you substitute for one or more of the other spices?

I made this tonight and really enjoyed it, I had homemade coleslaw so had this with the
steak, It’s a recipe that you could probably play around with to suit your taste, very nice
with the syrup. I have tried to make this before but this was the better recipe. I’m not a
Veggie but I do like to have veggie meals 4 to 5 nights per week. I’ve downloaded the
recipe book and look forward to trying more recipes from Dana @ Minimalist Baker.
