Thanks so much for posting this! I had an empty container of storebrand IS and I had all the individual spices but didn't know the proportions to mix and refill it. My attempt has generated a few tips: 1. grind just the coarser spices first; my food processor was just flipping the rosemary around and the finer stuff created a cloud of dust. 2. Wait a while before opening your machine until the dust settles. 3. If you have a coffee grinder (I remembered later that I have one set aside for spices ) that is a better machine to use.
This is really good. I did mix and match this recipe w/ the Italian Seasoning I, since the only difference btwn the two seemed to be the red pepper flakes, the use of Savory, and the use of sage. I didn't have any Savory so I just added the sage (only 1tbsp) and the red pepper flakes Only problem was that it was too spicy for my daughter. So when I run out of what I made I will make it w/out the red pepper flakes and add it separately. I used this to make two items. The first was the fanned Potatoes recipe on this forum and the second was to make a spaghetti sauce. I've always made my own, but used the store bought seasoning and this is by far much better. My husband is not a huge Spaghetti sauce fan and he raved about it. Will continue to use this in all of my Italian cooking endeavors.
Great italian seasoning mix. I add crushed red pepper flake to mine. I like to make big batches of this in a pint Ball jar. All I have to do is increase the serving size to 50, throw the seasonings in the Ball jar and slap a lid on it. Then I hand it to one of my kids to shake up. Way better than anything you can buy pre-made.
So quick and easy you'll never buy the prepackaged stuff again. You can also add any other ingredients you like - especially garlic powder. Very nice!
I don't recomend eating this alone lol not that I tried. It goes great in a lemon butter seasoned vegetable recipe on this site. Much better than buying the seasoning in a package. I like this one better than the other Italian seasoning found on the site since the other one has a few ingredients I rarely have
For me personally this was just okay. It had too much sage in it for MY tastes so if you are not a sage lover cut down on the amount by at least half. Or even replace the sage with something you like more. That is just my personal taste opinion.
I've been using this recipe for a few years now. I find that one batch yeild about 2/3 of my 125g bottle.
Perfect combination of herbs and spices. I keep this on hand all the time. Great to add to olive oil along with some garlic powder salt and fresh cracked pepper in which to dip hot bread served with a great Italian meal.
I have never bought Italian Seasoning after discovering this recipe! Instead of a food processor I bought an inexpensive coffee bean grinder that I use strictly for spices! I think it does a better job than a food processor and because it's only used for spices you don't have any coffee odors that you might get by using a dirty coffee bean grinder.
