Hello Ty,

Sorry, I could not find an authentic recipe for "Mayacamas herb mix seasoning." However, the AI provided the response below.

Phaed

Because the Mayacamas company is known for its savory herb gravy mix rather 
than a standalone seasoning, there is no official recipe for a seasoning mix. 
However, a copycat recipe for a savory herb seasoning can be made by combining 
the core ingredients listed in the company's gravy mix: onion, rosemary, thyme, 
and parsley.

Copycat Mayacamas savory herb seasoning mix

Ingredients

1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp dried parsley flakes
1 tsp dried basil leaves
1 tsp dried thyme leaves
1 tsp dried marjoram leaves
1 tsp white pepper, freshly ground
Salt, to taste (optional, since many uses for this mix will involve adding salt later)

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine all the herbs and spices.
Mix well until everything is evenly blended.
For a finer blend, you can use a mortar and pestle to crush the herbs and spices slightly.
Decant the mixture into an airtight container or spice jar. Label it with the name and date.
Store in a cool, dry place for up to six months.
Tips for using the mix
For gravy: To use this blend to make a quick gravy, whisk it into a pan with water or broth. 
Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer until it thickens.
For meats: Sprinkle the seasoning on chicken, turkey, or pork before roasting or grilling.
For vegetables: Toss with roasted vegetables, potatoes, or add to soups and stews for a 
savory flavor boost.
For pasta and dips: Mix with a neutral oil for a bread dipping sauce, or stir into 
sour cream and mayonnaise for an herb dip.
If you try this recipe, please let me know how close the result is to Mayacamas 
herb seasoning mix.
