The recipe for all purpose seasoning
Anyway, let’s talk more about the recipe post, this all purpose seasoning was made using some of the most popular herbs and spices that you’ll find in your pantry.
You’ll probably be familiar with the taste of each ingredient as you’ve most likely have used them individually at some point during your culinary adventure – himalayan pink salt, paprika, garlic, parsley, black pepper, onion powder, thyme, chilli and coconut sugar.
Reason for adding a hint of coconut coconut sugar to the seasoning
I chose to include coconut sugar to balance things out, don’t worry it won’t have any impact on the final product and if you’re not comfortable with using any sugar, simply omit or reduce the amount but I really think the sugar counterbalances the heat from the chilli and saltiness from the pink salt.
What can I use all purpose seasoning for?
As it is an all purpose seasoning blend it will make a great diverse flavour enhancer for vegetable, meat, poultry, dips, salads, sauce you name it and you can include a teaspoon or tablespoon of this multi purpose seasoning. It all depends on what you’re cooking but the list is endless.
For best results, use a spice/coffee to mill the ingredients thoroughly together.

Eager to try this spice blend out! Unfortunately I don’t have a spice grinder though, but most of my spices are in ground form anyway, so I’ll just try mixing them together. I know it’s an all-purpose blend, but do you have any recommendations for meals/recipes that it pairs particularly well with?
