Spice Rub

@arecipe.bsky.social

A spice rub is a mixture of salt, herbs, and spices. It can be as simple as a large amount of pepper, like in Steak au Poivre, or as complex as 100 spices. One formula for a good spice rub is a base, such as paprika, and then add on from there. However, beware commercial spice mixtures. Many of them are salt-based because salt fills volume, is cheap, and fills in for spices they can't get.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup paprika
  • ¼ cup salt
  • ¼ cup black pepper
  • ½ cup chipotle powder
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup dehydrated lemon peel
  • ¼ cup dried rosemary
  • 2 tbsp cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. 1
    Combine all ingredients in an airtight container.
  2. 2
    Stored in a cool, dark place this will last for a long time.
