Cajun Spice Blend
Cajun spice is a blend of spices commonly used in Louisiana Creole and Cajun cuisine. It typically includes a combination of paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Some variations may also include black pepper, white pepper, or cumin.
Cajun spice is used to add flavor and heat to a wide variety of dishes, such as gumbo, jambalaya, red beans and rice, and blackened fish or chicken. It can also be used as a dry rub for grilling or smoking meat, or as a seasoning for roasted vegetables or popcorn. The blend of spices creates a complex flavor profile that is both savory and spicy, with a slight smoky undertone. Cajun spice is a versatile and delicious addition to any kitchen, and can be adjusted to suit individual tastes by adjusting the levels of heat and spice.
