Introducing the Tuscany seasoning herb & spice mix, this will be one the best pack that you will keep in pantry or spice rack for a long time.
Similar but also different to Italian blending, this Tuscan seasoning recipe called for red pepper flake and sea salt. The scent is just so Tuscany plus some hint of the ocean along with the combine aroma from all herbs.
Usually I would mix these herbs with garlic powder, but that’s really easy to clump up and harden, especially without an oxygen absorbing bag. Yes, those little bags that you could found in many food packaging are truly a life saver. So next time, save them for these kind of occasional spices & seasoning making.
All these flakes when mixed might be a little too “flaky”, you can crush them as well before storage. As personal reference I would just mix and store them tightly seal. Then when I ready to use them, crush just enough with a little pebble.
Usage, hmm, this little Tuscan seasoning mix can be used on almost any kinds of dish. Whole flakes go into soup, pasta, sauce, poultry & meat rubbing… You can also crush them tiny and sprinkle over pizza or any oven baked dish. Oh, I would try one with a bake sweet potato.
Seafood? Definitely. though I would add a little extra crushed chili pepper flakes and zest of lemon.
