How to make Cajun seasoning

Kathleen Flinn · February 8, 2013 · 6 Comments

I generally don’t add salt to my seasoning mixes; instead I add it separately when cooking. A recipe that specifies a commercial blend assumes it has salt, so adjust accordingly. Be sure to use garlic powder and onion powder, not the salt form of either.

2 teaspoons cayenne, red chili flakes or a combination
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 ½ tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Combine all the herbs together. If not using immediately, store in an air-tight jar.

    I’m impressed, I ought to say. Certainly rarely do I encounter a blog that is both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the concern is something that not enough many people are speaking intelligently about. I’m extremely pleased that I stumbled across this in my search for something related to Cajun.

    Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this,
    like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to
    drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that,
    this is wonderful blog. An excellent read. I’ll certainly be back.
