Alright but first, let’s back up a sec. Exactly what is Cajun seasoning, you might ask? It’s a rustic seasoning blend that hails from Louisiana, the home of delicious Cajun cuisine. Everyone tends to have their own spin on it, but in general, it’s a spicy blend featuring lots of paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, pepper and oregano. Various other seasonings can be added to taste.

I discovered Canjun very recently when I was invited for a fancy dinner at an American friend’s house. I soon came to learn that Cajun spice mix is incredibly versatile. It amps up all sorts of vegan dishes such as veggies, potatoes, soups, stir-frys, dips etc. It’s one of those brilliant spice blends that works well with just about everything
