“Less expensive plus you control the salt level. A recipe for one of the most popular seasoning blends in Canada that you can easily make at home.”

Ingredients

3  Tbsp granulated onion

3  Tbsp black peppercorns

3  Tbsp granulated garlic

2  Tbsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)

3  Tbsp kosher salt

2 Tbsp chili flakes (cayenne pepper flakes or red pepper flakes also work)

3 tbsp mustard seeds

2 Tbsp coriander seeds

3 Tbsp dill seeds

Instructions

I like to grind each individual ingredient to a coarse consistency before blending them all together. This ensures that I get a uniform size.

I use a mortar and pestle but this is not completely necessary. You can use a spice grinder, blender or food processor if you like but again I recommend, doing each one individually.

Blend all of the ground spices together well and store in an airtight container like a mason jar.

This spice blend will maintain its freshness for several months. Small 4 ounce mason jars make great host/ess gifts if you're invited to summer barbecues.

Recipe Notes

I like the salt amount in this recipe but if you prefer a more heavily salted seasoning for your purposes, try increasing the salt by a Tbsp and experimenting from there.
