The Best Creole/Cajun Seasoning Mix

Wed, 13 Sep 2006 20:43:26 -0400

Move over Emeril!... you will never purchase Creole or Cajun seasoning again once you taste this one --- I have searched for the longest time to find the best seasoning blend, this is it! --- four tablespoons of seasoned salt will not be overly-salty if you prefer a more salty taste then add in some white salt --- this makes a fair amount of seasoning, just store in a tightly-sealed glass jar in the refrigerator to use in ground beef recipes, soups, or stews, homemade pasta sauce recipes, or use it to season roasts, chickens, pork, beef, I use it on just about everything! If you like extreme spice then increase the cayenne up to 4-5 teaspoons. This makes a great gift for a spice-lover! -- posted by KITTENCAL

Crazy Salt

Mon, 23 Oct 2006 16:51:40 -0400

I posted this recipe for the request of those that are asking what crazy salt is, Recipe #7542. A recipe I adopted. You can add 1 teaspoon of MSG which I'm not a fan of. This are made with dried herbs. Keep this along side the range to use as a salt substitute as needed. It keeps the salt intake down, because when you go to use a teaspoon of salt and use this in its place it you really are using just 1/2 a teaspoon salt. That is a good thing! And Great flavor! Makes a nice gift placed in a pretty jar with a ribbon. -- posted by ~Rita~

Kittencal's Seasoned Dry Italian Breadcrumbs

These are so much better than any store-bought bread crumbs, use in any recipe calling for seasoned breadcrumbs, they make a wonderful breading for baked chicken and fish --- store in the fridge or freezer and use when needed --- the recipe can be reduced to one loaf of bread if desired, since I use these on a regular basis I most always make two loaves. -- posted by KITTENCAL

My Very Famous Greek Village Steak Seasoning

Mon, 15 Jan 2007 16:16:17 -0500

This is the best steak seasoning you will EVER eat, and it's simple to make too. It makes any meat or chicken or fish or roast potatoes taste delicious- just like the people in my Dads Greek village in Greece make. Gives a delicious authentic taste to Greek souvlaki skewers- just thread meat onto skewers and sprinkle it with this. Try it, you'll love it! As a bonus: it only takes about sixty seconds to make. -- posted by goldtiger

Kittencal's Dry Onion Soup Mix Increaser and Flavor Inhancer

Tue, 06 Feb 2007 22:58:15 -0500

If you use a lot of dry onion soup mix as I do for my cooking then you will love this mix! this is not a clone it is meant to use as a flavor inhancer of dry soup mix, you may use in place of the envelopes of dry onion soup mix in any recipe, this also works well in roasts, stews, soups and gravy as well as lots of other recipes --- when using this mix in recipes you might want to reduce or omit any extra salt, this mix already has a high sodium content. -- posted by KITTENCAL

Fool's Salt - Sel Fou - French Style Seasoning Salt

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 23:01:33 -0500

Every self-respecting French housewife has a tub of this by the side of her cooker; they are all slightly different depending on the region you live in, but this is one that I use over and over again. It has just a hint of herbs & spices, enhancing a dish rather than overpowering it. The French call this "Sel Fou" or Fool's Salt, which is a wonderful name for it I think! Please note, I have NOT added any chilli powder or Cayenne pepper in this mix - I realise that hot spices are popular in seasoning salts, but this is herbal rather than spiced! I use it to sprinkle over salads, add it to pasta, stews, soups, daubes, casseroles, pies, roast chicken & meat etc. It is also GREAT sprinkled onto hot Chips (French fries) & over the top of pizzas. I don't like to make huge quantities, due to the herbs losing their freshness and flavour - so, this makes about 125g (just over 5 ozs) of Fool's Salt; you can of course increase the quantities if you wish! -- posted by French Tart

Rock & Roll BBQ Jalapeno Dust

Sun, 18 Feb 2007 23:47:11 -0500

Sat, 04 Aug 2007 16:43:25 -0400

This recipe is from the Chicago Diner cook book. It's easy, tastes great and the mix makes up to 3 cups at least, so it lasts a long time. I love using this with their Tofu Loaf recipe as well as a brown sauce in Asian dishes, like Tofu Yung or my Pepper Fake recipe which you can find in my profile...just add more tamari to the finished product. The recipe for the spice mix is a bit different cause these are the only ingredients I had on hand. -- posted by tendollarwine

Sun Dried Orange Peel - for Tagines, Daubes and Sweet Things!

Wed, 19 Sep 2007 21:56:46 -0400

I always dry at least a kilo of orange peel during the summer months - and that keeps me right through until next year. This is not so much a recipe as a technique, but it is so useful to have a jar of this in your pantry throughout the drear winter months. I use this dried peel in daubes, tagines, stews, curries, marinades, desserts, cakes and baking. It really does not take that long to dry in direct sunshine - and the quicker it dries, the more intense the orange aroma and the higher the oil content. A great by-product of oranges, and a part that is normally thrown away! -- posted by French Tart

Liz's Easy Garlic Herb Butter

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 01:02:40 -0400

I enjoy going to the grocery store, buying a product that I enjoy and finding a way to make it homemade and less expensive. Sometimes being on a tight budget does not mean you have to sacrifice the quality of the food you cook. I don't cook gourmet or better all the time but sometimes simple things can really turn a simple meal into something better. You can use fresh herbs if you prefer but I just use the Herbs I have handy in my herb rack. This garlic herb recipe is something I just tried one day for kicks and now I love it. I'm never buying it in a store again and hopefully you will love it too. This garlic herb butter goes wonderfully with ANYTHING. Use it with rice, meats, potatoes, and vegetables.

Thanks to one of my favorite Zaar vegetable recipes for inspiring this herb mixture.

Ideas below for add-ins to make a memorable side dish the kids will be begging you to make again and again! -- posted by Debber

Harissa

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:44:13 -0500

A spicy North African condiment. This is the most flavourful - and authentic - version I've ever come across. Note that the 1 hour prep time is the soaking time for the chilies. After they're soaked, this comes together in a flash. -- posted by rusticgirl

What's in the Cabinet Spice Mix

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:33:54 -0500

I wanted a spice rub for my steaks and came up with this. So far I've used it on beef, chicken and pork. It has chilli powder and cayenne powder, but it's not that spicy. -- posted by Thndrus

Thai Yellow Curry Paste

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 02:09:40 -0500

This simple and easy to prepare recipe is from the kitchen of my local Thai restaurant. Thai curries don't actually have to have curry powder in them to be authentic. This is more of a seasoning mixture. -- posted by Celticevergreen

Copycat Goya Vegetable Seasoning / Dry Rub

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:17:43 -0500

Instead of getting one of those packets loaded with MSG and ingredients I can't pronounce, I looked at the side of the box and the actual spices used were listed. I think this might be close enough but let me know if it needs tweaking to be like the original. Lowered the salt content for posterity. Would probably make a nice marinade when mixed with some olive oil and vinegar. -- posted by the80srule
