Hold the Salt: Seafood Blend II

article image
Flavor at a shake (clockwise from top left): Seafood Blend II, Vegetable Blend, and Meat Blend II are three ways to offer your taste buds something besides salt.

This unusual combination adds complexity to seafood dishes. As you combine the ingredients, crumble or chop them to the consistency that you want. Store extras in tightly covered jars in a dark place to preserve their flavor for as long as possible. For use at the table, keep the blends in salt shakers with large holes; blends made with whole spices may be kept in pepper mills.
