Blackening Spice Mix

Title:
Blackening Spice Mix

Yield:
1 /4 cup

Categories:
Cajun




Ingredients:





     1 tb Paprika


 2 1/2 ts Salt


     1 ts Onion powder


     1 ts Garlic powder


   3/4 ts White pepper


     1 ts Cayenne pepper


   3/4 ts Black pepper


   1/2 ts Thyme


 1 1/2 ts Oregano






 If you do not have the facilities to blacken the fish outdoors, preferably


 on a butane crab boiler, merely melt some butter, dredge your fish, chicken


 or meat with the above and saute in butter in your kitchen. You will not


 get your pan white hot as you must do outdoors, but it will be tasty. This


 process is called "Bronzing". When you blacken, you must get a heavy black


 iron skillet white hot so that when you put the butter in and the fish, it


 chars and takes only a minute or 2 on each side. This produces tons of


 smoke. I did it in my house to see what would happen and my neighbors


 thought my house was on fire. You MUST have a strong commercial exhause


 like restaurants have to do this in your kitchen.
