Game seasoning

Game seasoning is a low carbohydrate / keto friendly food item.

Overview

Game Seasoning is a blend of herbs and spices tailored specifically to enhance the flavor profiles of game meats such as venison, rabbit, pheasant, and others. As game meats tend to have a more robust and distinct flavor compared to conventional meats, the seasoning used needs to complement and balance these flavors without overpowering them.

Ingredients

While there's no one-size-fits-all recipe, a basic game seasoning might include:

• 2 tbsp paprika
• 2 tbsp salt
• 2 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp dried thyme
• 1 tbsp dried rosemary
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for added heat)

Preparation

1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly until all the spices are well integrated.
3. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Usage

Sprinkle the game seasoning generously on the meat before cooking. It can be used for roasting, grilling, braising, or any other cooking method suitable for game meats.

Tips

• Always adjust the seasoning according to personal preference. If you prefer a spicier blend, increase the amount of cayenne pepper.
• For a fresh twist, consider adding finely chopped fresh herbs just before applying to the meat.
