Over the years I have either created or amassed recipes that I believe to be tried and true. We create them and use them in many of our “fixins”. I use them with meat substitutes such as soy and non-vegetarians don’t even realize they are eating things like soy meat substitutes. Occasionally I will mention a meat product in these recipes, so lets be realistic to the fact that even vegetarians eat a bit of meat now and then or serve it to others in their household who do not indulge in a strict vegetarian or vegan diet.
Hot Chorizo Seasoning
Yield: ½ cup (enough to season 2 ½ pounds of soy meat substitute or lean turkey or pork sausage)
¼ c hot ground chili pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp dried onion or onion powder
1 ½ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
To make Chorizo, just combine ½ c cider vinegar and (if preferred) ¼ cup tequila with this package of seasoning and add to 2 ½ pounds of soy meat substitute or lean turkey sausage. Then cook in your favorite way.
Mild Chorizo Seasoning

Just as good as Kentucky Fried Chicken Spice
1 tablespoon rosemary
1 tablespoon oregano leaves
1 tablespoon powdered sage
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 teaspoon marjoram
1 1/2 teaspoons thyme
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons dry minced parsley
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons garlic salt
2 tablespoons onion salt
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder (or 4 cubes, mashed)
1 package Lipton tomato Cup-a-Soup mix
Place all ingredients in blender and pulse for 3-4 minutes to pulverize, or rub through a fine strainer. Store in an airtight container so the spices will not lose their potency. Makes about 3/4 cup.
Add 1 ounce mix to every one cup of flour for coating chicken and this works well on soy chicken or soy turkey products.
