Spice
Style
Cajun seasoning is a dry seasoning mixture used to bring a recognisable regional flavour in one scoop. Savoury heat for Louisiana blackening and stews. Freshness of the ground spices determines aroma. Rub on proteins before searing, bloom in oil for stews, or finish fried foods. Store airtight away from heat and light; replace when colour and smell fade.
