What are some spices you can't live without?

I'd have to say parsley, oregano and cumin. Plenty of others come in a close second like lemon juice, kosher salt, & basil.

Garlic powder, parsely, oregano, cummin, black pepper....wish they made a ground jalapeno seasoning.

Ooops, forgot the paprika.

Smoked paprika and chipotle are my go-to spices, but I get huge bins of Misty's all-purpose seasoning and that is the base for most of my blends.

I also like the stone ground mustard blend you get at Target.

Basil, Oregano, Tarragon, Mediterranean Spiced Sea Salt, Garlic Power, Garlic Salt and I'm not sure if its considered a spice, but, Horseradish.

Infidels.

It ALL starts with salt and pepper.

Next, olive oil, garlic, peppers and onions and mushrooms. Cayenne if it's for general consumption, red pepper flakes if it's for me, cayenne being much easier to control. I ALWAYS get carried away with RPF. That's your basic flavorings, flavor carriers. That's the end of the MUST haves. Tomatoes next, depending, though I can't think of anything at the moment they can't go with. So, add them and hit the trail.


Everything after that is optional/personal preference/dish specific. Rosemary being least, basil being most. Flat leaf parsley is good. French or lemon thyme. Greek oregano. Cilantro.
 
No votes for Old Bay? Anyway I like ground red pepper, my various ground hot pepper, garlic and onion. Also blackening seasoning.

Parsley, dill weed, paprika, ground red and black pepper, garlic and onion powder, oregano, thyme, cumin...

Mixed up some Essence this weekend using the recipe from Food Network's site. Made Emeril's dry rub with it for spare ribs, and slow smoked them on the Weber with Kingsford charcoal and wet hickory chips. I'm going to adjust the recipe to lower the "bite" a little bit.

Heathen. :razz:

I love being able to go out my back porch and get fresh rosemary, thyme, oregano, and sage instantly.

Love anything (so far) with Old Bay, love dill in so many ways it's not funny, basil (and so many different varieties for just about anything), different varieties of garlic (from mild to extremely pungent), onions (same as garlic), cilantro, bay leaves (grow my own), etc. Too many to mention! :lol:

For pre-made mixtures, I love the Argentine Steak Rub from World Market (thanks mAlice!) and the Canadian Steak and Chicken Rubs. :cheers:

Love Montreal Steak, plus all the other staples that have been mentioned. I'm learning to appreciate cilantro in small doses.
