{{ :recipes:tony-chacheres.jpg?direct&100|}} ====== Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning ====== /* Description */ I doctored this to make it less salty and more spicy. (Modifications in the directions.)

When it's salty enough, it's seasoned to perfection. For barbeque and fried foods: Season food all over. Cook as usual. ====== Notes ====== (From the foreword) Tony Chachere is from Opelousas, Louisiana - my hometown. I was 11 years old when his first cookbook came out. This is the first recipe in his Cajun Country Cookbook. In the cookbook, he says THIS RECIPE IS WORTH THE PRICE OF THE BOOK. He's right. Right after the cookbook came out, everyone was making this and storing it in those large plastic ice cream cartons. Within a short while, he started marketing this himself. Now you can find the green cans of this stuff all over the country. Where I'm from, this is the only seasoning anyone uses. That sounds kind of strange, but try it and you'll see. It's been a standard around my house for over 20 years. /* Nutrition block - remove the slash-asterisk and asterisk-slash from just above and below the following block */ /* ====== Nutrition ====== |Calories (kcal): ||Fat Calories (kcal): |Cholesterol (mg): | |Fat (g): |Saturated Fat (g): |Mono Fat (g): |Poly Fat (g): | |Protein (g): |Carbohydrates (g): |Sodium (mg): |Fiber (g): | */ {{tag>Recipes Ingredient/Seasoning-Rub American/Cajun-Creole JMarcos 5★}} /* Recipe Tags - Copy and paste tags from the list below to the tag list in the above line, replacing the "TagsNeeded" tag and separated by spaces. */ /* ---Recipe Types--- Appetizer Bread Bread/Muffin Bread/Quickbread Beverage Breakfast Casserole Canning-Freezing Cocktail Condiment CrockPot Dessert/Bar-Brownie Dessert/Cake Dessert/Cake/Frosting Dessert/Crisp-Buckle Dessert/Cookie Dessert/Custard-Curd Dessert/IceCream Dessert/IceCream/Topping Dessert/Pie Entertaining Grilling-BBQ Holiday Kid-Friendly MainDish MainDish/Beef MainDish/Poultry MainDish/Pork MainDish/Seafood Pasta Pizza Roast Salad Salad/Dressing Sandwich Seasoning American/Cajun-Creole JMarcos 5★ Side Snack Soup Stew-Braise Vegetarian ---Recipe Cuisines--- American American/Cajun-Creole JMarcos 5★ American/Southern American/TexMex Asian Asian/Chinese Asian/Indian Asian/Japanese Asian/Korean Asian/Thai Asian/Vietnamese European European/Belgian European/Czech European/Dutch European/English European/French European/German European/Greek European/Polish European/Irish European/Italian European/Portuguese European/Russian European/Scandinavian European/Spanish European/Swiss Latin Latin/Brazilian Latin/Mexican MiddleEastern MiddleEastern/Ethiopian MiddleEastern/Jewish MiddleEastern/Lebanese ---Recipe Sources--- 365Recipes 365Recipes/Grilling 365Recipes/Chicken 365Recipes/Pasta AmericasTestKitchen AmericasTestKitchen/CooksCountry AmericasTestKitchen/CooksIllustrated BetterHomesGarden Bon Appetit Chowhound FineCooking FoodWine GoodEats Gourmet HDawson AMarcos DMarcos JMarcos 5★ KMarcos JPhalen ---Recipe Ratings--- 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1★ No★ ---Recipe Alerts--- RecipeNeeded RecipeIncomplete RecipeWrong RecipeFails TagsNeeded */ ~~DISCUSSION~~
