Creole seasoning is a blend of spices and herbs very popular in the cuisine of several Latin American countries, especially in Argentina, Uruguay, and other regions of the Southern Cone. This seasoning is essential for enhancing the flavor of meats, stews, empanadas, and other traditional dishes.
Origin: Creole seasoning has its roots in Creole cuisine, which fuses indigenous, Spanish, and African influences. Its use dates back to colonial times and it is a symbol of the River Plate culinary identity.
Properties: The blend usually includes ingredients such as paprika, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, ground chili, black pepper, and salt, although the proportions and some ingredients may vary by region or family recipe. These spices are rich in antioxidants and provide an intense, smoky, and slightly spicy flavor that enhances any culinary preparation.
Synonyms in Spanish from Hispanic America: in some regions it is also simply known as adobo criollo or mezcla criolla, although these terms may have variations in their composition depending on the country.
