Cajun Seasoning Blend
Source of Recipe
From "Acadiana Table" by George Graham
Recipe Introduction
"This dry seasoning blend delivers a mix of distinct, yet perfectly balanced, spice components — all working in combination to deliver a wallop of Cajun flavor. And it's multi-purpose: It infuses a deep, savory spiciness when added to the pot, it penetrates with a peppery punch when used as a rub, and it adds a zing when sprinkled on a finished dish."
List of Ingredients
â—¦ ¼ cup salt
â—¦ ¼ cup granulated garlic
â—¦ ¼ cup finely ground black pepper
â—¦ 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
â—¦ 2 tablespoons onion powder
â—¦ 2 tablespoons finely ground white pepper
â—¦ 1 tablespoon celery salt
â—¦ 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Recipe
Add all of the ingredients to a food processor and blend.
Pour into an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to six months.
Makes 1 ¼ cups
• Table Tip:
This blend forgoes the dried herbs (oregano, thyme, basil, and so forth), which allows you to control those flavors in your dish individually. The heat level is moderate, so feel free to add more cayenne, red pepper flakes, or hot sauce to your finished dish. This home-prepared blend does not contain the anti-caking compounds found in many commercial spice blends, so store it in a dry place.
