When cutting back on bad foods, it is so
pertinent to maintain TASTE. Some staples in my kitchen to help ensure this include: chili flakes, organic garlic, extra virgin olive oil, citrus
fruit, sea salt, pepper corns, and a Tupperware containing this recipe:
Cajun Rub Recipe:
2 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
3 tsps pepper (I used a white and black blend)
1 tsp cayenne
2 tsps dried thyme
Method:
Mix together in an airtight container. Shake
well before each use.
NB - there is no salt in this recipe. I
recommend using an extra virgin olive oil spray on meat, seafood or vegetables,
lightly season food with sea salt and then lightly cover with Cajun rub. To
round out the spice, I recommend using a bit of limejuice and/or zest.
I have used this on fillet mignon, prawns (with a tsp
of margarine, lime zest and juice of a quarter lime wedge), salmon and chicken.
