Kryddhuset Cajun Spice 30g
Cajun seasoning comes from Louisiana, where French, Spanish and West African cooking met. The blend is built on paprika and cayenne, with garlic, onion, oregano and thyme, and tastes warm, slightly smoky and herbal rather than simply hot.
The classic use is blackened chicken or fish: brush with melted butter, coat generously with the seasoning and fry in a very hot cast-iron pan until the surface is dark. It also belongs in jambalaya and gumbo, on prawns, in rice dishes, on potato wedges and corn on the cob, and stirred into soured cream as a dip. Reckon on about a teaspoon per portion as a starting point.
If you want more heat, add cayenne separately rather than increasing the amount of the blend, or the dish quickly becomes too salty. See cajun seasoning and spice blends.
