Emeril's Essences: Three Seasoning Mixtures - Twitchin Kitten - 11-04-2008

Do you purchase Emeril's Essences in the supermarket? Did you know that you can make these easily yourself, have more than enough on hand and the best part is that there are no chemical preservatives or additives if you make them yourself. I always have these on hand!

Get yourself a good coffee bean grinder (I like the Braun brand) to do this because there really is no other way to grind up the whole seasonings you get. Some seasonings will be whole seeds/nuts and some already powdered. You still want to grind all ingredients in the coffee bean grinder to ensure all is mixed and blended well.

Emeril's Essence Creole Seasoning (sold in stores as Bayou Blast)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp paprika
  • 2 Tbsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp onion powder
  • 1 Tbsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 Tbsp dried thyme

Combine all ingredients in your grinder and store in an airtight container.
Makes about 2/3 cup.

Emeril's Southwest Seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 Tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp ground coriander
  • 1 Tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano

Combine all ingredients in your grinder and store in an airtight container.
Makes about 1/2 cup.

Emeril's Rustic Rub
  • 8 Tbsp paprika
  • 3 Tbsp cayenne pepper
  • 5 Tbsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 3 Tbsp onion powder
  • 6 Tbsp salt
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp dried thyme

Combine all ingredients in your grinder and store in an airtight container.
This is great to use on BBQ or any other kind of grilled meat that you want to "kick" up the flavor!
