Inspired by traditional Chilean merkén, this spice blend features dry-smoked ají cacho de cabra (goat’s horn red chile) combined with sea salt and coriander. Its coarse texture is reminiscent of crushed red pepper styles like Aleppo and Urfa chiles, delivering layered heat and smoky depth.
Simple in composition yet bold in flavor, this merkén blend works beautifully as a dry rub for beef, chicken, lamb, pork, tofu, or seafood before grilling or smoking.
