Cajun Spice Mix Recipe - Create and Enjoy the
Unique Flavours of Louisiana Cuisine

This Cajun spice mix recipe is such a versatile blend! It can used as general all-purpose seasoning, as a dry rub or, as they do in Louisiana, as a blackening spice for chicken, meat and fish. The choice is yours! It also uses filé powder which is optional, but if want authentic tasting food, it may be worth purchasing some.

1-2 tsp sea salt

tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

  • Grind the salt, celery seeds, peppercorns and cumin seeds
  • Add to a bowl 
  • Stir in the paprika, mustard, cayenne, garlic and onion 
  • Crumble in the dried thyme and oregano and combine thoroughly
