Updated: Mar 21, 2021

Here is a dish that has probably been made in every kitchen. Of course, this dish includes one of Chef Paul’s Seasoning Blends. You can substitute his Meat Magic for the blend. This is a great meal for those on a budget. You can also make great sandwiches with the leftovers.

Seasoning Mix

2 whole Bay Leaves

1 tablespoon Salt

1 teaspoon Cayenne

1 teaspoon Black Pepper

1/2 teaspoon White Pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground Cumin
