Tips when applying Midnight Red seasoning as a rub
A rub should coat the surface of the meat so work a rub evenly into to the meat to get the flavor inside as much as possible. If you are applying a rub to poultry try and get it in under the skin so it can better absorb the flavor. Lightly scoring meat, poultry, and fish will help the rub flavors penetrate further. Apply your rub at least one hour before you plan to grill. Large roasts, whole poultry, or briskets should be rubbed down the night before or at least several hours before you plan to grill. This allows the seasonings to mix with the natural juices of the meat and add as much flavor as possible.

For the kid in all of us, have a look at old Jacques Pépin videos on youtube (below) to learn about “real,” old school, egg-cellent and delicious French Omelettes.
And, after that, if you’re feeling adventurous try to make one (from start to finish, an omelet should take you no more than a minute or two). Add a teaspoon of Greek Seasoning and a teaspoon of a fruity Saratoga Olive Oil before whisking the eggs — and when you're whisking the eggs, make sure you're doing it hard enough to get some air into them. They should be frothy, not just combined. It really makes great omelettes.
We know there are about as many omelette recipes under the sun as there are ingredients to fold into them. There's no limit to the number of fillings you can use with this basic omelet recipe. So, we encourage you to explore more about delicious omelettes.

KICKIN' CAJUN Seasoning
$ 4.95
You'll find this to be an ideal N’awlins Cajun Seasoning. Why we love this blend? Kickin' Cajun seasoning delivers the smokey warmth that typifies the Cajun taste. One mouthful, and you’ll think you’re on Bourbon Street in N’awlins!
“Cajun” refers to the rustic cuisine of rural Louisiana that was developed by displaced French Canadians during their expulsion from British rule in the 1750's. Cajun food is characterised by simple French & Mediterranean style, one pot style dishes.
Taste and Aroma Profile
This delicious blend has a bit of mild spiciness with just a bit of temperate heat that delights the palate, balanced with the aromatics of fragrant coriander, onion and garlic and the tastes of hearty oregano, sweet paprika and floral thyme.
How to Enjoy it
- This seasoning is so tasty and versatile that whether you do a lot of Cajun style cooking —gumbo or jambalaya— or not, you'll find many ways to enjoy it.
- Use Kickin' Cajun as a dry rub (or moisten with olive oil) on fish, chicken, prawns or steaks.
- Adds a spicy zip to fresh crawfish, broiled shrimp, pork, and burgers.
- Add to soups, vegetable, lentils or sprinkle over baked potatoes, gratins or grilled tomatoes.
- You can use Kickin' Cajun as a blackening or all-purpose seasoning: Use about 1 tsp. per pound of meat.
- In addition, use as a sprinkle to liven up vegetables, rice and bean dishes, or salads. We also find it is great on baked sweet potato fries, or scrambled into eggs for a spicy breakfast.
- Mix it into a marinade, or rub it right on dry or with a little extra virgin olive oil, and it’s ready to go! It’s an easy way to spice up – literally – an ordinary vegetable or side dish!
- Make spiced cashews to serve with drinks. In a bowl mix one pound raw unsalted cashews, 1 egg white, half a cup sugar and 3 tablespoons Kickin' Cajun mix. Mix all together and then pour onto a baking tray. Bake in medium over until brown. Cool and then separate mixture — add a little sea salt to taste. (Great also with almonds!)
Ingredients
We’ve combined a link with the old world herbs & spices of Greek oregano, delicate thyme and cumin with the new world spices of Hungarian paprika, fragrant coriander, cayenne pepper, bold Tellicherry black pepper, dehydrated organic garlic powder, minced onion, and pristine Himalayan pink crystal sea salt (Gourmet food grade), resulting in a perfectly balanced blend-with-a-kick.
