I love Cajun seasoning on baked sweet potatoes and on scrambled eggs but I cannot find a premade mix that isn’t extremly salty. Can anyone recommend a good recipe for a Cajun seasoning mix that doesn’t rely on way too much salt to be tasty?
If you have access to bulk spices at your local grocery, try mixing the following to your own personal taste: black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, mustard powder, chile peppers, cumin, celery seed. 🤘🏼
I never noticed before, paprika is bell pepper, onion powder and celery seed, It’s the Cajun mirepoix. Makes perfect sense it would be predominant in the seasoning.
You can reduce the salt in any of the seasonings from recipes in Paul Prudhomme’s Louisiana Kitchen, or just buy his salt-free commercialized mix directly: https://www.magicseasoningblends.com/shop/seasonings/magic-salt-free-seasoning-fsalt108/
You should be able to use any salt-based seasoning mix such as Tony Cachere’s in lieu of the salt you’d normally add to a dish (i.e., not in addition to salt, and not more than you’d use as pure salt). It can help to not use other ingredients with included salt, such as most brands of canned bean or tomato.
