Claude's Version!
Ingredient Substitutions:
If you can't find dried bell pepper flakes, substitute with dried red bell pepper or even a small amount of sweet paprika (about ยฝ teaspoon) for color and mild sweetness.
Celery seed can be quite strong, so start with less and adjust to taste. If unavailable, you can omit it or use a tiny pinch of celery salt (reducing the added salt accordingly).
For more authentic flavor, add a drop of olive oil to the mix for better adherence to foods.
ย 
Usage Ideas:
This blend works great as a rub for meats, poultry, and seafood, seasoning for roasted or grilled vegetables, or mixed with oil and vinegar for a marinade (2 tablespoons seasoning + ยฝ cup oil + 2 tablespoons vinegar). You can also sprinkle it on French fries, baked potatoes, or pasta.
