Similar to traditional Merken from Chile. This merquen spice blends dry, smoked aji cacho de cabra (goat's horn red pepper) with sea salt and coriander. Its coarse texture is similar to crushed red pepper blends like Aleppo chiles and Urfa chiles. But don't let its simplicity fool you: this merquen spice mix definitely delivers on flavor. Apply merquen as a dry rub seasoning to beef, chicken, lamb, pork, tofu, or seafood prior to grilling or smoking.
