MAIN COURSE
I’m the fifth generation of a farming family (rice, corn, soybeans) and believe this seasoning used on pork or chicken pairs well with a helping of rice, corn, or soybeans on the side. Growing up, my family always cooked with Cavender’s Greek seasoning. This recipe is my effort at a healthier, homemade version. Use this seasoning every day for easy, weeknight dinners! – Halle Erwin, Health Education Specialist, The Mount Sinai Hospital
