This is a multipurpose herbal seasoning blend that brings out the flavor and adds some spiciness to the dish as well.  It tastes great on just about any meal like, meats, poultry, vegetables, fried potatoes, and breads. 

Ingredients

4 tsp. seasame seeds
2 tsp. celery seed
2 tsp. dried marjoram
2 tsp. poppy seeds
2 tsp. black pepper
1 1/2 tsp. parsley flakes
1 tsp. red pepper flakes (more or less)
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. paprika

Directions

In a bowl, combine sesame seeds, celery seed, marjoram, poppy seeds, black pepper, parsley flakes, red pepper flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and paprika.  The seeds can be ground up in a mortar and pestle or in a spice grinder, as we don't really like whole seeds in our food.  Mix until thoroughly combined.  You can also mix the seasonings in a mason jar.  Just add the spices, put the lid on the jar, and then shake the jar until all the spices are mixed thoroughly.  This helps to keep the small particles of spice that tend to drift up in the air when mixing.

Store in an airtight container.  We store our seasonings in a mason jar that has a lid, or you can use an old empty spice bottle to store the seasoning in.
