First, credit where credit is due.......Coop's Place on Decator St in New Orleans is the original home of this blend of spices. They are a great, but small, eating place.....not on the usual tourist information maps, but more of a place where the locals eat. People who work in the Quarter may be found there all day and most of the night. Great food, great drinks, great, if a little near the edge, atmosphere. When in New Orleans be sure to visit, eat the best Gumbo you will EVER eat and enjoy a real slice of the Big Easy.
4 parts salt, I use Kosher, coarse
3 parts Cayenne Pepper
3 parts black pepper, ground
3 parts granulated garlic, dry
2 parts MSG
1 part ground cumin
1 part Paprika
2 parts onion powder if desired
Combine ingredients. I use a food processor to mill it to a fine powder. Store in a sealed bottle. Use this in or on nearly anything. Caution; please don't let this hit a hot cooking surface like a skillet in a house........the results will chase mice, vermin and
Bible Salesmen out of your house, and really burn your eyes!!
But.......it's good stuff. I use it on fried potatoes, scrambled eggs......mashed potatoes, fish, burgers.......everything but cold beer.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers, Piper
