Creole Recipe: Creole Seasonings

Creole seasonings - make your own!

If you’re ready to make a Creole recipe but find you don’t have commercial Creole seasonings on hand, you can easily make your own. If you cook a lot of Creole dishes, you might want to make a big batch and store it in your cupboard. Make sure you place it in an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dark place.

Holle’s Creole Seasonings recipe

What you’ll need:

• ½ cup salt
• ¼ cup black pepper
• 3 tablespoons garlic powder
• 4 tablespoons onion powder
• 1 tablespoon ground red pepper
• 1 tablespoon white pepper
• 5 tablespoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon celery salt
• 4 teaspoons dried thyme, ground
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano, ground
• 2 tablespoons dried basil, ground
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Directions: Blend all ingredients well and place in a jar. Your Creole seasonings will keep for about three months if stored properly. Ingredients will likely settle, so mix well just before using.
