Creating Your Own Seasoning Blends

For those who love to experiment in the kitchen, creating your unique seasoning blends can be an exciting adventure. Here are a few ideas to inspire your journey:

The All-Purpose Seasoning Mix

Combine the versatile flavors of rosemary, garlic, and marjoram to create a multipurpose seasoning blend. Perfect for soups or broths, it adds layers of flavor without overwhelming the dish.

Spice Ingredients:

Ground Rosemary - 1 part Garlic Powder - 1 part Marjoram - 1/2 part

Substitute 1/2 cup of each in a big pot of beef broth and let it simmer with a beef shank, large yellow onion, and two carrots for a rich, flavorful soup.

A Versatile All-Purpose Seasoning Mix

For a more comprehensive flavor profile, consider this all-purpose seasoning mix:

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon whole black pepper 1 tablespoon dried thyme 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes 2 teaspoons dried basil 2 teaspoons dried oregano 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon lemon powder 2 teaspoons coriander 2 teaspoons paprika 2 teaspoons cayenne 2 teaspoons turmeric 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon ground mustard 1 teaspoon rubbed sage 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ginger 1 teaspoon nutmeg

This versatile mix can be adapted to suit various culinary preferences, making it a staple in any kitchen.

Exploring Flavor Blends

Experimenting with different spice combinations can lead to unexpected and delightful discoveries. Here’s a quick tip from one seasoned chef: smell the spices and food. This can give you an idea of whether they will be complementary to each other. It’s a trusty method for ensuring that your dishes are perfectly seasoned.

Why Salt and Pepper Isn't Enough

Using just salt and pepper can make for a rather predictable culinary experience. To keep your meals interesting, consider incorporating other spices and creating unique seasoning blends. Think of it as a way to add more flavor and depth to each dish, much like how a diverse wardrobe adds to your outfits.

For instance, a chef with the inspiration from Kanan Naturale’s seasoned blend might opt for an olive oil garlic butternut squash risotto, where the natural richness of the butternut squash complements the warm spices and subtle saltiness of the garlic-infused oil.

Unleashing Creativity with Customized Spices

Take it a step further and create a custom blend that suits your taste. Whether you’re jazzing up grilled meats with fajita seasoning, or adding a kick to your soups, custom spice combinations can make your cooking journey thrilling and fun. Whether it's a touch of cinnamon in a savory dish or a dash of nutmeg in a spicy curry, the possibilities are endless.

So, embrace your culinary creativity and let every meal be a new adventure in flavor.
