Note: The ingredients listed below are enough for five servings of this house seasoning.

Expert Tips That I Recommend

To boost the flavor of my house seasoning, I consider adding dried herbs like thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves, along with spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg.
As a second option, you can dry roast garlic, onion, and peppercorns and grind the ingredients to enhance the flavor.
If you don’t prefer dry seasoning, I recommend adding oil or vinegar to your seasoning to make a paste.
For a hint of sweetness in your seasoning, I suggest including a touch of brown sugar or caster sugar. If you prefer a moist seasoning, consider adding honey or maple syrup.
I recommend arrowroot powder as an effective thickener or binder for your seasoning.
After making the seasoning, sift it through a fine mesh strainer to remove lumps and ensure a smooth final product.
After making the seasoning, I recommend letting it sit in an airtight container for a few days before using it, as this will intensify the flavors.
