Cajun Seasoning

This is great for the gumbos, jambalayas, blackened fish and grilled meats. The spices truly impart that creole and Cajun flavor. I like to mix all of the dry ingredients and then when you are ready to use the spice mixture remove however much you intend to use and add fresh garlic and onion.

Ingredients:

1 t paprika
1/2 t black pepper
1 t ground fennel seed
1/2 t cumin
1/2 t mustard powder
1 t dried oregano
1 t cayenne
1 t thyme
1/2 t sage
1/2 tsp salt
garlic
onion

Combine all of the dry ingredients. Add thee onion and fresh garlic to however much you intend to use. A good amount for this recipe would be 1/2 onion, minced and 2 cloves of garlic, minced. Rub the spice mixture into the meat or fish and let it marinate for one hour. Alternatively, stir some of the mixture into rice dishes or gumbos.
