I saw the following recipes in an issue of Martha Stewart Living a long time ago and put them in Mastercook. I tried them too as I was putting together stuff for holiday gifts - thought it would be great to make big batches of seasonings, and put some in with a packet or two of good popcorn. It was a big hit. For a few weeks before I sent them, I made big batches of each of these and tried them. They were all tasty. You can spice them up even more with a different kind of chile such as chipotle or habanero or something exotic, since a lot of us grow exotic chiles and dry them. I haven't tried them with anything other than what she listed but I am sure some, such as Southwestern or Cajun, could be made much spicier with a different chile (maybe pequin??). Anyway, here they are... * Exported from MasterCook * Cajun Popcorn Seasoning Recipe By : Martha Stewart Living, October 1999, p. 254 Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder 2 tbsp coarse salt 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper pinch cayenne pepper -- optional Place all of the ingredients in a medium bowl; stir until combined and transfer to airtight container for storage.
