Cajun Seasoning – Make Your Own
My husband was shopping around for a good cajun seasoning mix.
We read labels.
We found sugar.
We found additives.
We decided to make our own.
I compared a few online recipes and decided to try the one from www.allrecipes.com.
Here’s what you need:
- salt
- garlic powder
- paprika
- ground black pepper
- onion powder
- cayenne pepper
- dried oregano
- dried thyme
- red pepper flakes (optional)
Depending on how many servings you want, you can modify the amounts required. I wanted to make approximately one cup, so here are the quantities I used (teaspoons):
- 8 salt
- 8 garlic powder
- 10 paprika
- 4 ground black pepper
- 4 onion powder
- 4 cayenne pepper
- 5 dried oregano
- 5 dried thyme
- 2 red pepper flakes (optional)
Stir all the ingredients together and store in an airtight container.
I have an old blender that I can use with a mason jar in lieu of the original glass jar. I put all of the ingredients into the mason jar and blended the mixture until it became a very fine powder. If you make it, please let me know how it turns out.
