Cajun Seasoning
My hubby walked in from his gym workout today to the smell of Cajun Sausage and Rice. He said it smelled amazing and he couldn’t wait to try it. I used to make a box dinner like this when we were first married. It had kielbasa with who knows what ingredients in it plus a boxed rice with similar seasonings but tons of preservatives and other junk.
Well, I recently bought some quality kielbasa from Pederson Farms with no sugar (or other junk) added. So, I thought I would recreate one of his favorite meals. Here is the link to the recipe sausage and rice recipe.
This mix is super simple and doesn’t have a bunch of yucky ingredients like MSG or preservatives. I like to prep a batch of DIY steak rub in a small mason jar ahead of time so that I don’t have to make it every time I want to use it. I use this spice on rice, ground beef, and plan to try it on shrimp soon. If you want that cajun taste without all the junk, check out this easy mix.
Here are the ingredients for the steak rub:
- 8 TBS paprika (I prefer the smoked paprika from Trader Joes but you can use whatever you like)
- 4 tsp garlic powder
- 4 tsp onion powder
- 4 tsp organic pepper
- 4 tsp oregano
- 4 TBS plus 2 tsp sea salt. We buy our Redmonds Real Salt at Thrive Market.
- 2-4 tsp cayenne pepper (depending on how spicey you want it)
Directions:
Use a mason jar funnel to pour all your ingredients into a glass mason jar and shake.
Could it be any more simple?
So good!
