How to Make Nigerian Seasoning Cubes

How to Make Nigerian Seasoning Cubes

Jan 16, 2025Elizabeth Yakubu

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.

  • Living with Herpes simplex was depression for me even with my doctor’s advice and medication. My name is Vicky Moore I live in Chicago, Illinois and this is my story. I browsed the Internet in search of remedies or something but unfortunately nothing new, all still had the same results. Sadly I almost quit on myself, it was around 7:30 in the morning when my therapist called me over to her house, at first I was skeptical, but I went anyways on getting there she was smiling and said there’s living proof now, she showed me a lady who also suffered from herpes simplex 3years back and now she is cured by a doctor who also studied natural herbs. I was amazed and lost for words I even doubted but showed me a doctor’s report test. So I contacted the doctor and weeks later, I was cured. So I would love to use this medium to say a big thank you to my therapist and Dr. Chalopa. This story is shared to others like me out there. However, he also treats other illnesses. Email drchalopa@gmail.com
