Best Rajin Cajun Spice Recipes

RAJIN' CAJUN SPICE

Rajin' Cajun Spice image

I found this recipe on a Canadian Turkey site several years ago. It is listed for a single dish, but I usually triple the recipe and keep it tightly sealed in my spice cupboard. I use it mixed in with breadcrumb and flour coatings for pork and veal cutlets and chops, fish, chicken, etc. If you don't want to take the time grind the pepper, please use a quality brand of ground pepper. It makes all the difference between really good and mediocre.

This is a mildly hot Cajun spice mix you make yourself with common spices from your pantry. For those who like it hotter, add the optional crushed red pepper. This makes a great oven Cajun hashbrowns!
