Fennel Spice Rub

Directions

1. 1
   Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat.
2. 2
   Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly.
3. 3
   When light brown and fragrant, pour the seeds onto a plate to cool.
4. 4
   They must be cool before grinding, or they will gum up the blades.
5. 5
   Pour the seeds into a blender and add the salt.
6. 6
   Blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender occasionally to redistribute the seeds.
7. 7
   Store in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
