Creole Spice Blend Recipe

The Superbowl (not sure why) today and Mardi Gras being two days away inspired me to make a fresh batch of Creole Spice Blend. Freshly prepared spice blends; preferably made with homemade dried herbs and powders really add extra dimensions of flavors to recipes.

Creole Spice Blend Recipe

2-1/2 Tbsp sweet paprika
2 Tbsp salt
2 Tbsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp onion powder
2 Tbsp dried sweet basil
2 Tbsp dried oregano
1 Tbsp freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp freshly ground white pepper
1 Tbsp cayenne
1 Tbsp celery seeds
1 Tbsp dried thyme

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse several times to blend or wisk thouroughly in a large bowl. Store in an airtight container away from direct light. Best if used within three months.
