Cajun Blackening Spice Blend is unapologetically bold, brave and full of flavour! Paprika, red chillies and cayenne filter through robust notes from mustard, cumin and thyme.
Blacken Cajun Seasoning is used across Louisiana to grill and barbeque meat, fish and vegetables. The food is dipped in melted butter and then liberally coated in the Cajun Blackening Spice Blend before cooking. This technique creates a delicious, flavourful crust that gives the spice blend its name.
While the intense, high-heat cooking process creates a beautifully smoky, charred flavour on the outside, the meat will keep tender and juicy on the inside. This very specific blackening technique is thought to have originating in Louisiana, popularised by chef Paul Prudhomme in the 1980s and then quickly adopted as a signature cooking style in Cajun and Creole cuisine.

Reviews
Verified ownerA family favourite. Great for what we call 'bashed chicken ': boneless chicken thighs sprinkled with the Cajun Blackening then covered with greaseproof paper and bashed to an even thickness. These are then griddled, sliced and used to fill tortillas etc along with salad.
Verified ownerUsed it on lamb chops, as a rub. Works well
Verified ownerI love spicy food, applied generously then worried I might have murdered our meat with too much heat. It was perfect as it happens and beyond moreish on pork. Keen to try on beef steak next time. Another versatile addition to our collection 😍
A real delight. Recommended without reservation.
This is just wonderful. I sprinkle this liberally over broccoli or cauliflower that's been lightly coated with oil before roasting and it's one of my favourite things to eat and so ridiculously easy.
Quite possibly the loveliest spice blend I have ever used! Rub it all over salmon fillets & gently fry them - the spicy coating crisps up & the salmon inside stays tender & juicy - a weekly treat in my house!
