I got my dose of Calvin's powder. The clumpiness due to the
essential oils indicates that the shelf life won't be all
that long unless stored in a tight glass container.
On the other hand, it won't be around long. I mixed 1/2 tsp
into 1 Tbl tamari and tossed into some raw almonds. Roasted
for 25 minutes at 250F.
The heat and flavor is great. I think the use of all those
different chiles creates a powder that is immediately hot
but doesn't build out of control like hab powder. I really
like the fact that it doesn't have nay spices in it that
might restict its use to certain flavors.
My next trick was marinaded tuna. Olive oil, lime juice,
garlic, salt and Calvin's. Let it go 4 hours and grilled 2
minutes per side.
It wasn't quite hot enough so I mixed the last of the powder
into some mayo with cilantro to top the tuna. Thank you,
Calvin.
Now I need more powder.
