Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 Tbsp paprika
2 Tbsp sea salt (don't use iodized salt)
2 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp black pepper
1 Tbsp onion powder
1 Tbsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp oregano, dried
1 Tbsp thyme, dried

Steps:

  • 1. Recipe from New New Orleans Cooking, by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch, published by William and Morrow, 1993. Read more at: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/emerils-essence-creole-seasoning-recipe2.html?oc=linkback
  • 2. Get all of your individual spices measured out in a bowl for mixing. As this recipe as written it's a tad hot, use less cayenne to vary the heat. I'd suggest using about 1/2 of suggested or even just one teaspoon. Cayenne is an integral part of Cajun/Creole cooking and doesn't just add heat. Cayenne has a flavor all it's own, that does add a level that no other spice has. So at least use some.
  • 3. Combine all ingredients thoroughly. Store in an airtight container for future use. You can use old spice containers, Ziploc bags, Tupperware and Glad make small plastic screw on lids etc.
  • 4. Of course you can purchase it either at your local grocery store, if they don't have it you can always buy online. I use Cajun Grocer for all of my seafood and Louisiana products. Great prices, fast shipping and there isn't anything they don't carry. Some items may be seasonal. http://www.cajungrocer.com/

  • Toast the spices: Toasting the spices before grinding them will release their essential oils and intensify their flavor. This is especially important for spices like cumin and coriander.
  • Grind the spices finely: The finer the spices are ground, the more evenly they will distribute throughout the seasoning. This will help to create a more consistent flavor.
  • Store the seasoning in an airtight container: To preserve the flavor of the seasoning, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. The seasoning can be stored for up to 6 months.
  • Use the seasoning sparingly: A little bit of this seasoning goes a long way. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
