How people cook with it

- Seasoning grilled meats
- Flavoring sautéed vegetables
- Adding zest to marinades

For vegetables, toss them with a bit of oil and the seasoning before cooking. You can also mix it with a small amount of water or oil to create a flavorful marinade for meats, allowing it to sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the spices. It can also be stirred into sour cream or yogurt for a quick, flavorful dip.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining seasoning in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry or spice cabinet. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent moisture from clumping the spices. This will help preserve its aromatic qualities for future use.
