Morton's Cajun Seasoning

From , former About.com Guide

Fans of the famous steakhouse will love a homemade jar of Morton's Cajun Seasoning. At Morton's, the seasoning is essential to the recipe for Cajun Ribeye Steak, but it's also great on chicken, fish, or even popcorn!

Makes about 2 1/2 cups.

Recipe reprinted with permission from Morton's Steak Bible: Recipes & Lore from the Legendary Steakhouse, by Klaus Fritsch with Mary Goodbody.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup paprika
  • 1/3 cup salt
  • 1/3 cup freshly ground white pepper
  • 1/3 cup garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup onion powder
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons dried thyme
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons cayenne pepper

Preparation:

In a mixing bowl, stir together all the ingredients.

When mixed, transfer to an airtight container and store in a cool, dark place. The seasoning will keep for up to three months.

NOTE: You do not have to be perfectly precise when measuring these dried herbs. If you feel better with precision, 2 1/2 tablespoons equals 2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons.
