Every state and country has its own way of seasoning food by using a combination of herbs, spices and many other seasonings. Louisiana is famous for its Creole Seasoning by Zatarain’s. Although this seasoning is marketed to people as the perfect seasoning for Jambalaya, this Creole seasoning can be added to meat, poultry, fish, salads, stews, vegetables and much more.
Creole Seasoning by Zatarain’s has been in business since 1889, helping to bring the taste of New Orleans to people’s kitchens wherever they may live.
This product contains salt, dextrose, garlic, chili powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, onions, spices and other ingredients. This gives food a real “kick” as you add it to dishes. Zatarain’s states that this is the “delicious alternative to salt and pepper.” But by looking at the ingredients, we can see that salt is the first ingredient listed, which means that it is the most abundant ingredient. Pepper is also featured in this Creole Seasoning.
Creole Seasoning by Zatarain’s tastes spicy and it is fragrant. It tastes good in moderation. When cooking with this seasoning, it is important to be careful with how much seasoning you use. It will also depend on personal preference. For a hotter, spicier meal, add more. But tone it down if your palate is not too accustomed to spicy food.
