Sara Moulton's Creole Seasoning Recipe
Add a Dose of Spice to Your Average Dinner
In general, I'm not a fan of garlic and onion in powdered form; I prefer them fresh. But I am a fan of the cooking of Paul Prudhomme and Emeril Lagasse. Both of these superstar chefs macle their name at New Odeans's Commander's Palace restaurant and both have based their repertoires on a special spice blend that includes onion powder and garlic powder.
What can I say? The proof is in the spice mix. When I developed the recipe for Red Beans and Rice Soup with Ham, I thought this spice mix might improve it a little. After adding it, I realized at once that the spice mix turned a good soup into a great soup. It is just as important in the Breaded Creole Chicken with Ranch-Dressed Coleslaw.
