Excluding salt and black pepper, what seasoning / spice do you use most?
Also, what seasoning / spice to you NOT like? I hate the spices used in most Indian dishes--the food always sorta tastes like "perfume". YUCK! As for my most used? Lawry's Seasoned Salt--that's kinda sad, isn't it? Oh, well. I think it tastes good in almost everything!
Answers:
I made up a mixture of spices that I use in 85% of my cooking.
The base for my mixture is 1/2 cup Garlic POWDER (not garlic salt) 1/4 cup of Onion POWDER(again not salt), and !/4 cup of dried, fine chopped Onion, Three leval teaspoons of each of the following, dried FINELY CRUSHED oragano, sage, papricka, parsley, dried and crushed carrots, dried and crushed green pepper, yellow pepper, and dried crushed parsley. If you want it spicy you can add two teaspoons of cumin, chili powder or crushed red pepper, I make up two jars one mild one spicy. I mix it well, then make sure you label them and store it somewhere out of the light in a air tight jar. I use it to start my seasoning for any meal. When I make hamburgers, or set aside meat to freeze for hamburgers for meat loaf or spagaitti sauce, I season with it before freezing. You can also buy seasonings simular, but I don't like the fact they use the salts instead of the powders. Most people get way to much salt daily without adding it when you cook. The ones I don't like are the same as yours. You really described it right it does taste like your eating perfume. May you always have a happy kitchen and hardy appetite.
