Method

  • Add all the seasoning, except salt, in a blender.
  • Cover and blend to a fine consistency.
  • Don't breathe the dust, unless like Molly you want to enter into a sneezing frenzy!
  • Mix the blended spices with the salt until you achieve a uniform colour.
  • Use as you would salt. Place the spice mix in a glass jar and seal tightly. Store in a cool, dark place up to 3 months.

    • Tips

    • There are many commercial seasoning mixes on the market some of our favourites are from the kitchens of Paul Prudhomme but they can be difficult to find in the UK. Another excellent seasoning mix is Zatarain's Seasoning again difficult to obtain here in the UK.
