Greek Seasoning
Description
This Greek Seasoning recipe combines a variety of dried Mediterranean herbs—oregano, basil, rosemary, dill, and thyme—with garlic and onion powders, black pepper, and kosher salt to create a versatile all-purpose blend. Optional lemon zest adds a citrus dimension when dried properly. The mixture can be applied directly to meats or vegetables to infuse flavor characteristic of Greek cuisine.
The preparation involves mixing all dried spices thoroughly, optionally including freshly dried lemon zest for brightness. Storing the mixture at room temperature allows the flavors to meld and ensures longevity for up to three months. The dried lemon zest must be fully dried before storage to prevent spoilage.
This seasoning provides a convenient way to impart familiar Greek flavors to dishes without needing multiple individual spices, suitable for seasoning grilling, roasting, or sautéing.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oregano dried
- 1 tablespoon basil dried
- 1 tablespoon rosemary crushed, dried
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dill dried
- ¼ teaspoon thyme dried leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon optional, see note, zest
Instructions
- If using lemon, zest lemon and add along with other spices to a small bowl.
- Mix well to combine. Use immediately to season meat and vegetables.
- If storing, place spice mixture on a plate and allow it to sit open at room temperature for 48 hours or until lemon zest is completely dried. Place in a small jar and store at room temperature for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Ensure lemon zest is completely dried before mixing or storing to prevent spoilage.
- Dried lemon zest can be substituted for fresh lemon zest to simplify preparation.
- Store the seasoning in a sealed jar at room temperature for up to three months to maintain freshness.
