THE BEST CREOLE/CAJUN SEASONING MIX



The Best Creole/Cajun Seasoning Mix image

Move over Emeril!... you will never purchase Creole or Cajun seasoning again once you taste this one --- I have searched for the longest time to find the best seasoning blend, this is it! --- four tablespoons of seasoned salt will not be overly-salty if you prefer a more salty taste then add in some white salt --- this makes a fair amount of seasoning, just store in a tightly-sealed glass jar in the refrigerator to use in ground beef recipes, soups, or stews, homemade pasta sauce recipes, or use it to season roasts, chickens, pork, beef, I use it on just about everything! If you like extreme spice then increase the cayenne up to 4-5 teaspoons. This makes a great gift for a spice-lover!

Categories     Seasoning Mixes

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

PLAN/PURCHASE
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp white pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp crushed pepper flakes
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried greek oregano
1 Tbsp chili powder, i prefer hatch
1 Tbsp salt, kosher variety, fine grind
2 Tbsp hungarian paprika
2 Tbsp dehydrated onions
2 Tbsp garlic powder

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. You will need a spice blender, or just a good blender to make this recipe.
  • 3. One other thing about Cajun spices is that they are tremendously high in salt content. I cut the sodium in this recipe by over half; however, if you are on a salt restricted diet, cut it down more, or leave it out entirely. That is the great thing about homemade spice mixes, you are in control of what goes into them.
  • 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 5. Add all the ingredients to a blender, and grind away until mixed and fine, then place in a sealed container, and store in a cool place, away from direct sunlight.
  • 6. Chef's Tip: Save your old spice bottles. They are excellent for storing your homemade spices.
  • 7. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 8. Use anywhere you would use Cajun spice: vegetables, fish, meat, poultry; some people sprinkle it fruit. Enjoy.
  • 9. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

¾ cup salt
¼ cup ground cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons ground white pepper
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder

Steps:

  • While holding a pint canning jar at an angle, add ingredients to create a "sand art" look. The salt and cayenne may be divided into smaller portions and used to separate other spices. I found it simplest to use 7 cups--one with each spice in it--and add them to my jar with a spoon, as I want to create the special look.

ANGEL DUST CAJUN SEASONING

Woodall's Camp Cooking, Jimmy Bannos. This is the basic recipe, I increase proportions to equal one cup. Hot Pimenton could be subbed for the Hungarian paprika to increase the heat. It would also contribute a light, smoky flavor. Pimenton Dulce, or sweet pimenton, would work in place of the spanish paprika, too.

CAJUN SEASONING



Cajun Seasoning image

Back in 2011, in his New York Times Magazine column, Cooking With Dexter, Pete Wells asked his son about his favorite foods. "It was a tie," Wells recounted Dexter saying, "between sushi and the fried chicken at Brooklyn Bowl." The chicken was a specialty of Eric and Bruce Bromberg's SoHo restaurant Blue Ribbon, and this Cajun seasoning central to it. Adapted from "Bromberg Bros. Blue Ribbon Cookbook," by Bruce Bromberg, Eric Bromberg and Melissa Clark, this recipe is ready in no time, using ingredients straight from a well-stocked spice rack, but it changes whatever it's sprinkled on.
