Rouxbe

I cannot find greek seasoning. What spices do I use?

I don't think Rouxbe should be using pre-mixed seasonings unless they do a corner on prepping your own series of such. Carmen makes a good argument (see above).

My guess is "Greek Seasoning" is probably a blend of salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, dried onion & garlic with maybe some dried lemon peel.

It reminds me of a processed-food recipe printed on the box ; Just add OUR BRAND this, with a touch of OUR BRAND that. It doesn't teach you about flavours.

I hope we keep using just ingredients and not pre-fab stuff.

Respectfully,

Whenever I have time I make fresh. Check out the Ras el Hanout, which is a spice mix I love to make. It does involve a lot of spices but it's really nice. but when I do find myself short on time I sometimes don't mind using healthy, msg free, good quality spice mixes...and there are many of them. Just read the ingredients before buying.

Cavendar's Brand Greek Seasoning is readily available at almost any supermarket. Look for it in the spice section. I like using fresh herbs and creating my own spice blends too, but, if you like Greek dishes, this is one store bought product that you will really appreciate having on hand. I was able to pick up some Greek Spice at a local Mediterranean Market- - but I honestly think it was the Cavendar's blend, only in bulk, then re-packaged.

Loved this recipe! Great flavour and nice change to regular roast potatoes. I forgot to add the honey and lemon juice but they turned out great without them!!

Another disadvantage of ingredients such as 'Greek Seasoning' is that these things tend to be very local. I have no idea what Greek seasoning is, or what the equivalent might be here in Europe (ironic since it's so much closer to Greece...).

From what I can gather, Greek seasoning is basically a mixture of my most common dried spices/herbs: salt, pepper, oregano, parsley, cinnamon, nutmeg, onion & garlic powder.

I've made a little tub of it and throw on potatoes, pasta salads, etc.

I once had a rack of lamb with ras el hanout and tomato preserve on a tasting menu. It was the most memorable dish I've ever had. I can still remember the taste over a year later. The tomato preserve was excellent and I think had some of the spice mixture in it. I could definitely taste the cinnamon. I would not complain if you guys attempted to re-create it. ;p

Sound delicious...I love lamb, tomatoes and to top it all of with Moroccan spices...yummy!
I will see what I can do.

In the mean time we have a recipe for Ras el Hanout nac.rouxbe.com/recipes/53
