Montreal Seasoning Recipe + Video
Description
This Montreal Seasoning recipe combines coarse black pepper and kosher salt as the foundational seasoning, with dehydrated garlic chips and onion powder providing pungency. Paprika adds color and subtle peppery warmth, while dill seeds contribute a faint herbal brightness. Dried orange peel introduces a citrusy note for complexity.
The coarse texture lends itself well to creating a flavorful crust when applied to meats before cooking, particularly grilled or broiled proteins. It can be stored in an airtight container away from moisture to maintain potency.
Users can adapt the recipe by using fresh orange peel dried in advance or substituting granulated garlic for garlic chips if preferred. The mixture yields a substantial quantity for regular home use and can be easily adjusted for smaller portions.
Ingredients
- 1 cup black pepper coarse ground
- 1/2 cup kosher salt coarse grind
- 1/3 cup garlic chips See Note 1, dried
- 1/3 cup onion powder
- 3 tbsp paprika
- 3 tbsp dill seeds or caraway seeds
- 1 tbsp orange peel See Note 2, dried
Instructions
- In a bowl mix the kosher salt, coarse ground black pepper, dehydrated garlic, onion powder, paprika, dill seeds and orange peel. Store in a dry location in an airtight container.
- This recipe makes 2 1/2 cups (See Note 3). Store in a sealed jar.
Notes
- Use a citrus zester to remove orange peel without pith; dry fresh zest on parchment before storing to prevent clumping.
- Fresh garlic can be used immediately, but dried garlic chips or granulated garlic are suitable substitutes for storage.
- The recipe yields 2 1/2 cups of seasoning, equivalent to about 40 tablespoons, enough for multiple uses in home cooking.
