SPG seasonings – salt, pepper, garlic. It’s that easy. I hold a coarse salty spice grinder and I have a whole peppercorn, garlic twitching, so I can grind it fresh whenever I need it. (There are also instructions to make it from ground spices. If you need dry friction that doesn’t pass through the grinder every time you use it.)

This simple seasoning is something I often use. When I need salt and pepper in my recipes, I often add garlic flour to add extra flavor. I used it frequently I started mixing it in advance and kept a jar of it shaker along with the other spices in my pantry. (or buy from the store). It tastes good and is easy to use.
But who I am, I had to get a little extra flavour. I don’t like pepper before grinding. Because it quickly loses its flavor. Have you seen the pepper mill peppercorn blend and thought, “Why don’t you put everything in a spice grinder?” A quick trip to Penzey’s for dry chopped garlic and I was ready to go.
Device
Whole grain spice grinder (I like the Koonricon vase grinder) or a jar with a shaker lid in advance.
Funnels (contains spices when you add them to a grinder or shaker jar).

How to make salt and pepper garlic seasonings
Mix the seasonings
Place all ingredients in a large bowl and stir until thoroughly mixed. If the ground is on the ground, store it in an airtight container (preferably a shaker bottle) for up to six months. Store whole grains in a spice grinder for up to 1 year.
What do you season with SPGs?
Anything to season with salt and pepper. It’s my favorite basic beef rub, but it’s versatile. Last month I used it with steak, burger, salmon, pork chops and chicken. Oh, and green beans, Brussels sprouts, broccoli. It is the most versatile seasoning I use.
How to store SPG seasonings
When made using ground spices, they will last for a year until they start to lose their flavor when stored in airtight containers. The grinder version will last even longer. The peppercorn and salt remain fresh for a very long time. The elbowed garlic loses its taste after a while, but it’s better than the ground garlic powder.

Why use a spice grinder for salt and pepper garlic seasonings?
For pepper. The salt and garlic powder is a clean powder. The pepper flavour comes from broken oils and aromatics and disappears immediately after grinding. (That’s why my recipes mostly recommend fresh ground black pepper.) Now, if pepper is a minor player in seasoning, I think it’s fine in advance. However, it’s very important for SPGs, so I want fresh ground. So, this is a blend of seasonings that I keep in the grinder.
If I’m shattering it, how do I know how many SPGs I’m using?
I’ll watch it. I usually use SPG seasonings when I’m not measuring carefully. If it appears to be seasoned well, I’m fine. That being said, I also measured grinding speeds from my favorite Kuhn Rikon Vase Grinders. Now that you’ve measured 30 grinds to get 1/2 tsp of seasonings (roughly) and when you know you want a certain amount, start counting when you grind them.
