Cajun Blend
Cajun spice blends have their origins in the rich cultural history of Louisiana, USA, a melting pot of culinary traditions influenced by French, Spanish, African, and Native American communities. Cajun spices, characterized by their spicy and aromatic flavor, were adapted for simple everyday dishes, transforming local resources like seafood, poultry, and vegetables. Over time, this blend became a mainstay of Cajun cuisine, a symbol of resilience and adaptation, celebrating the unique blend of cultures and influences that characterize Louisiana.
Profile This Cajun blend combines the piquant heat of cayenne and jalapeño peppers with the aromatic richness of garlic, onion, thyme, and oregano, with subtle hints of paprika and turmeric for color and depth.
Inspirations, ideas and recipe suggestions:
Uses It is often used in dishes such as jambalaya (a fragrant dish made with rice, chicken, sausage, and seafood), gumbo (a thick soup rich in meats and/or seafood, vegetables, and thickened with okra powder or flour), and fried fish.
We like to sprinkle it on fries (potatoes or sweet potatoes), in a spicy Mayo or as a marinade base.
DID YOU KNOW?
This blend was born from the desire of the Cajuns, descendants of the Acadians deported from Canada in the 18th century, to recreate the flavors of their French culinary heritage with the ingredients available in their new territory.
