This blog post is one in a series of posts on DIY Seasoning Blends.

Nightshade -Free “Old Bay” style spice blend

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 TBSP ground yellow mustard powder
  • 2 TBSP celery salt (I used homemade, made by grinding whole celery seed and combining with Real Salt)
    • 4 tsp parsley flakes
  • 2 TBSP peppercorn blend (I used HEB Medley)
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • ½ tsp ginger powder
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • ¼ tsp cardamom powder
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon powder
  • ¼ tsp cloves powder
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg powder

METHOD:

If any of your spices are whole, take a moment to grind them. Otherwise, combine and enjoy! This mixture exactly filled an empty spice jar and a bit of extra left over.

NOTES:

  • Tastes great with fish!
  • Use in making salad dressings or as a salad seasoning.
  • Awesome flavor to add to soups and stews. Don’t forget to add a bay leaf or two while cooking.
  • Tastes great as the seasoning added to your “flour” before breading pretty much anything.
  • Also great with wild rice.
  • Source: I adapted this recipe to my own needs and preferences after reading Mindful Jay’s blog post. Thanks Jay!
