A good blackening spice is not hard to make.

1 part = any desired measure, tsp, tbsp, cup, etc.

What I like to use is:

3 parts paprika (smoked will give great flavor, but not necessary)
1 part cayenne pepper
1 part white pepper
1 part black pepper
1 part kosher salt
1 part granulated garlic
1 part granulated onion
1 part dried thyme

Mix well.

Enjoy.

Dear Ex - For blackened, I would add 1.5 parts of brown sugar.

bgavin,

All depends on your taste. :) I personally tend to not add sugar to food savory foods.

Your mileage may vary.

I've been happy using Emeril's original "Essence" for blackened pork chops.
