Homemade Creole Seasoning

This Homemade Creole Seasoning Spice Blend is made with most items already in your spice cabinet. Without the loaded salt that comes with pre-packaged spice blends, this homemade version is perfect on Southern dishes needing a little authentic flavor.

Ever wonder what the difference between Creole and Cajun is?

Well I did and after reading up on the terms it all boils down to this.

Cajun is a word used to describe the French colonists who moved from the Acadia region of Canada down to Louisiana after the British conquest of Acadia (known today as present-day New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia) in the 1700s.

Creole is a term used to describe the people who were born to these new settlers in French colonial Louisiana, especially New Orleans.

Another thing I might add is that typically Creole food uses tomatoes and Cajun food does not.

Add all the ingredients to a food processor and pulse several times to combine and store in an airtight container.

For other spice blends try my Copycat Montreal Seasoning Blend, or my Copycat Emeril’s Blackened Meat Seasoning. This is perfect used in my Creole Shrimp and Grits, too. Enjoy!
