Make a herbal spice mix at home to store for when it’s time to go. You can sprinkle this on any type of meat before cooking it, or add it to sauces and gravies. This is a good substitute for salt when you cook. This recipe is salty, slightly sweet, not spicy but has a rich taste. You can also add a teaspoon of salt to this mixture if you are not worried about the sodium content in your recipes.
Whenever you want to make your own mix, make sure you use the freshest ingredients possible. To see if the dry herbs and spices are fresh, smell them. If the smell is not too strong, remove it and buy a new one. In fact, this is a great way to check the herbs and spices in your kitchen once a year. Most herbs and spices retain their freshness from 6 months to a year, but only when stored in a cool, dry place.
You can make this recipe with your own favorite herbs. If you like the spicy and hot taste, add a bit of cayenne or chili chipotle. You can also use oregano or sage instead of one of the other herbs. You can try something weird like chervil, but only if you and your family like it.
