Seasoning cubes are some of the most important staples in Nigerian kitchens. They add rich flavor to soups, stews, rice, and many other dishes. While store-bought options are convenient, homemade seasoning cubes are fresher, healthier, and free from preservatives. Also, they’re easy to make with natural ingredients you already know and love. Here’s how to make your own Nigerian seasoning cubes at home.

Ingredients
- Chicken or Fish Stock
- Dried Herbs and Spices: Thyme, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger powder, and ground crayfish.
- Fresh Ingredients: Blended onions, garlic, and fresh peppers (optional).
- Salt
- Palm Oil or Vegetable Oil
- Bouillon Powder or Natural Flavor Enhancers
Instructions
Step 1: Boil the meat or fish with salt, onions, and spices. Once cooked, strain the stock and set it aside. This will be the liquid base of your cubes.
Step 2: Blend fresh onions, garlic, and peppers until smooth. If you prefer a dry mix, skip this step and focus on dried herbs and spices.
Step 3: Combine thyme, curry powder, ginger powder, onion powder, and any other spices you like. Add a bit of ground crayfish for an authentic Nigerian touch.
Step 4: Heat a small amount of oil in a pan. Add the blended fresh ingredients (if using) and fry for a few minutes to release their aroma. Gradually stir in the stock and your mixed spices. Let it simmer until it thickens. Adjust the salt to taste.
Step 5: Once the mixture cools slightly, spoon it into ice cube trays or silicone molds. This helps you portion out your seasoning easily.
Step 6: Place the molds in the freezer until the cubes harden. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to an airtight container or freezer bag. They can last for weeks in the freezer.

My husband changed dramatically towards me, doesn’t communicate anymore. He disrespects me and accuses me falsely of infidelity because of wicked gossip …but I’m simply AMAZED at the results of PRIEST AWESOME (AWESOME SPELL TEMPLE) who did a reunion love spell for me. Everything is going so well and EXACTLY how he said it would be. Even though it took 3 days to fully progress, it was so worth it because things are just about at perfection! How he took my situation and completely turned it around to give me exactly what I wanted is beyond me, but something I will never question and just be completely grateful for. God Bless Dr. DAVID for turning sorrow into happiness. You can also contact PRIEST AWESOME : give you 100% guarantee that he will help you.. https://web.facebook.com/Awesomelovepelltemple Email him: awesomenesspelltemple@gmail.com
