It’s Wednesday night and you’re midway through cooking dinner when you realize you’re missing the particular seasoning mix the recipe requires. You could make an emergency grocery run — or you could create a blend of your own.
Store-bought spice packets tend to be high in sodium, and many contain sweeteners or anticaking agents. You can avoid those additives by making a blend yourself, and you can tweak the ratios to suit your tastes.
Each of these recipes makes about 3 tablespoons. Simply whisk herbs and spices in a small bowl until combined. Use immediately, or store in a sealed jar for up to three months. None of these blends includes salt, so don’t forget to salt your dish to taste before serving.
