If you can't afford a vacation to the Mediterranean, this seasoning blend can transport you there for much cheaper, if only briefly. Through the experience of eating delicious food topped with Organic Greek Seasoning, you will find yourself immersed in the flavors of this delicious country.

The Story of Organic Greek Seasoning

Each ingredient in this blend has some history within Greece. In Ancient Greece, people wore parsley as a garland to prevent drunkenness. Oregano grows wildly in Greece and has always been a part of their cuisine. Onion and garlic became a staple part of the Greek diet over time and has continued to help make it one of the Mediterranean's most flavorful cuisines. Cinnamon and nutmeg came from India and were rapidly adopted as an important part of the cuisine. Black pepper was of course one of the most sought-after spices in the history of the spice world, and this was no different in Greece.

Greek cuisine is full of fish, vegetables, grains, meat, wine, and of course plenty of olive oil. This blend complements all of these foods nicely and was developed as an organic version of our popular contemporary version. The more organics we get in, the more blends we are hoping to create to be able to keep up with the desires of customers who want their organic meals to taste just as delicious as they would if they were non-organic. It is easy to incorporate such flavorful blends into our lineup, especially when there is so much culture and food to be had from a Greek origin.

Where to Use

You can use this seasoning blend on a variety of foods, from the meat end of the spectrum all the way to the vegetable end.

Organic Greek Seasoning is great to make sauce for gyros. It also makes an incredible marinade for Mediterranean style chicken, beef, lamb, pork, or fish. Any grilled food, shish-ke-bobs especially, taste excellent with this seasoning blend as a partner.

If you want to make your own gyros sauce, an easy recipe is to mix 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup chopped cucumber, 2 tablespoons of diced onion and 2 tablespoons of our Greek Seasoning. Greek yogurt is the yogurt of choice here because it is packed with protein and gives an authentic flavor, but you could substitute another plain yogurt if you so desire. Just keep in mind that it will not be nearly as thick as it would be with Greek yogurt.

A simple recipe for a meat marinade is 2 tablespoons Greek Seasoning, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of warm water. This is a good amount for about a pound of meat. Place your meat in a large re-sealable plastic bag and be sure that your meat is covered evenly with the marinade. Leave the marinating meat in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours before cooking.

Greek seasoning is also incredible on popcorn, roasted vegetables, and on pasta topped with a little olive oil.
