Never buy an expensive preservative filled dry rub again.
I don’t know about you, but searching for a good dry rub to use on your roasted or barbecued meats can be a rather daunting task. If you want to make your own, there are countless recipes out there to choose from. That’s difficult, though, because you never want to blindly follow a recipe not knowing what the end flavor will be. Will it be too salty? Too spicy? Too bland? If you don’t want to make your own, you can always buy a blend from the store. Do you get a cheap brand full of preservatives so that your body won’t decay for years after you die (dramatic, I know… I just hate consuming garbage chemicals). Or do you get a wonderful blend from a fancy store and pay more for the spices than you did the meat? I’ve done both, and will probably continue to do the later because I will spend the money on a good dry rub blend if I can sample it first. For example, I just sampled a raspberry chipotle blend and will most likely breakdown and drop some serious cash on it because I haven’t yet figured out how to reverse engineer it. Yet. But I digress… Let’s talk about this one spoon dry rub.
Its delicious. Its versatile. And it only dirties one spoon, and in my kitchen the fewer dirty dishes, the better. I think you should make it too and then let me know how your dinner turns out.
