Six AIP spice blends that will save you time

November 8, 2016 By Margaret 4 Comments

Are there times when you are frantically trying to season your latest AIP dish in order to make it taste better than blah?  Would six essential AIP spice blends that you can stock in your pantry simplify your life?

Six essential AIP spice blends that will save you time and money

When I plunged into the AIP I couldn’t cope with the lack of flavoring: no black pepper, no cayenne, no paprika, most of all no chipotle.  I didn’t have substitutes that worked for me.  It wasn’t an easy transition.

Imagine chicken soup without poultry seasoning … tasteless.

Curry without curry powder … boring and bland.

Do you miss the nightshade spices or have you gotten up the nerve to attempt to reintroduce them?  I am not there yet.

Meg Nunez, a FaceBook friend, posted two of her homemade AIP spice blends and gave me permission to include them here.  These two blends plus three AIP spice blends of my own and one that I borrowed from Eileen Laird of Phoenix Helix make a total of six essential AIP spice blends that are versatile and will boost the flavor of your cooking.

For a wider variety of spices check out Jo Romero’s ebook “Spice” which you can buy on amazon.ca or amazon.com.

Six Essential AIP Spice Blends:

Double or quadruple the quantities of your favorite spice blends and save time whenever you cook. No more measuring a little of this and then a little of that and a little more of the other.  Your spice blends will always be ready and waiting for you to use them.

1. Meg Nunez’ “house seasoning” has a nice kick with oregano and ginger.

2. Food to Heal Ourselves “house blend” can be added to cassava and coconut flours for a crispy,  yummy fried chicken or turkey or fish or meats (see recipe note).

3. Food to Heal Ourselves “Italian seasoning” is the flavorful component in an upcoming post “Creamy Italian cauliflower chicken soup”.

4. Meg Nunez’ “mole spice rub” combines spices with toasted carob and smells heavenly.  Buy toasted carob from amazon.com or amazon.ca.

5. Rachel’s recipe for “curry powder” on Phoenix Helix warms up my Green curry with chicken.

6. Food to Heal Ourselves “Poultry seasoning” is indispensable in Maggie’s chicken soup and other chicken dishes.

    I just made these mixes. I am following an AIP diet. What am I using the Mole Rub on? The Curry Mix is to replace "Curry" ?

      Hi Heather, the curry mix is to replace real curry but will not taste the same. When I use it I bump up the ginger and garlic as well to increase the heat a bit. The mole rub is one a FB friend makes and uses all the time. I would use it as a rub on steak or chicken before sauteeing.
