Cajun Rub 50g

Ignite Your Taste Buds with the Heat of the Bayou.Capture the bold, vibrant spirit of Southern US cooking with our authentic Cajun Rub.

This isn't a mild seasoning; it's a powerful, robust blend designed to create a flavourful, spicy crust on proteins and vegetables. We combine smoked paprika for depth, garlic and onion for savoury punch, cayenne pepper for authentic heat, and a blend of oregano and thyme for herbal notes.

This is the essential rub for creating classic "blackened" dishes, where the spices caramelise in a searing hot pan to form a delicious, intensely flavourful crust. It’s the ultimate way to add a serious kick of flavour to your BBQ, grill, or weeknight cooking, bringing the fiery soul of Louisiana directly to your Kiwi kitchen.

Culinary Inspiration: How to Use Cajun Rub

Unlock the spicy, smoky potential of this versatile rub:

• Blackened Fish & Chicken: The classic use. Generously coat fish fillets or chicken breasts and sear in a very hot pan.

• Grilled Prawns & Seafood: Toss prawns, scallops, or squid in the rub before grilling for a spicy kick.

• BBQ Meats: Use as a dry rub for chicken wings, pork chops, or ribs before barbecuing.

• Roasted Vegetables: Toss cauliflower, potatoes, or corn on the cob in oil and Cajun rub before roasting.

• Spicy Popcorn: Shake over popcorn for a fiery snack.

How to Use: For blackening, coat protein generously and cook in a very hot cast-iron skillet. For grilling, coat meat and let it marinate for 30 minutes before cooking.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to protect its potent heat and aroma.
