GF Italian Seasoning Blend...Homemade!

A small and easy recipe that can help make your GF cooking much more safe and easy.


I needed a seasoning mix that was to be in a slow cooker recipe I was trying, Italian Slow Cooked Pork Loin.  Not ever trusting spice/seasoning blends, the ones the celiac folks worn us about, I set out to make the best tasting blend that could be used for whatever recipe might call for an Italian seasoning blend.  It works super in soups, stews, and with any meats.  The blend is easily stored, and since we start with GF spices, you KNOW it's GF!!


Italian Spice Blend
1 1/2 tablespoons dried basil
1 1/2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper


Directions
Mix all ingredients together.  Put in a mini food processor, spice grinder, or mortal and pestle.  Grind away!  
Store in a freezer bag or air-tight container.  I store in the freezer, although the literature says that this will be fine on a shelf, air-tight for up to 6 months.
