House of the Rising Spice- Ragin’ Cajun Seasoning

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin’ man
Down in New Orleans

These Guys don’t mess around when it comes to spices. Cajun spices are great for cajun fries, a cajun dip, a meat rub for steak or chicken, cajun pasta and plenty of other dishes. You would be surprised how easy it is to make spice mixes at home, but you would be more surprised when you realize that you actually use these mixes quite frequently. I am sure that every spice rack is incomplete without Cajun Seasoning.

Here are the spices you’ll need:

1/4 cup salt

2 tbsp chili powder

2 tbsp onion powder

2 tbsp sweet paprika powder

2 tbsp crushed black pepper

2 tbsp crushed white pepper

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp provencal herbs

1 tbsp English mustard powder

2 cloves, ground

Mix all the spices together and crush in a mortar and pestle. Alternatively, you can mix the spices in a food processor (preferably the hand held kind -usually an attachment for an immersion blender).

Store Cajun mix in an airtight container and enjoy!
