Puerto Rican Seasoning Salt - Sazon

2 tablespoons peppercorns, black

2 tablespoons cumin seeds

2 tablespoons oregano, dried

1/2 cup salt, coarse (kosher or sea) salt

2 tablespoons garlic powder

 

 

 

1. Combine the peppercorns and cumin seeds in a dry

skillet and cook over medium heat, shaking the pan to

ensure even cooking, until toasted and fragrant, about

3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.

 

2. Place the mixture in a mortar, add the oregano and

grind to a fine powder with the pestle. Or use a spice

mill. Add the salt and garlic powder. Store in an

airtight jar away from heat and light for up to 6

months.

Sazón, a seasoned salt fragrant with cumin, garlic,

and oregano, is the ubiquitous seasoning of Puerto

Rico. Commercial blends are widely available, but most

are loaded with MSG. Here’s a homemade version

chock-full of flavor. It calls for whole spices

(peppercorns and cumin seeds) that are freshly toasted

before grinding. For a quicker version, skip the

roasting and grinding. Use preground pepper and

cumin-the mixture will still be quite tasty.
