Just check your pantry.

I was low on fresh ingredients and knew I probably couldn't do pancakes two nights in a row. So I started desperately to cast around for ideas. The september 2005 issue of Australian Table called to me. I found this baked polenta and beans recipe and was delighted to discover all but one ingredient in my pantry. I didn't have the mexican chilli powder so I turned to my CSIRO cookbook for the mexican rub recipe.

lemon zest
ground cumin
ground coriander
cayenne pepper (I used Piri piri)
I used equal amounts of each of these ingredients.
