What You'll Need: (makes about 9-10 tablespoons)

3 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp coriander seeds
2 tbsp dried thyme
1 tbsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp ajwain seeds (optional)
4 tsp dried parsley
4 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp mustard powder
2 tsp ginger powder
2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp grated nutmeg
6-8 dried bay leaves

tbsp = tablespoon

Directions:

• Crumble the bay

• Grind the bay pieces, peppercorns, coriander, cumin, salt and, if using, the ajwain

• Add to a bowl

• Stir in the nutmeg, mustard, paprika, chili, garlic and ginger powders

• Finally, crumble in the thyme and parsley. Stir again

Store your rub recipe in a cool place in an airtight container and out of direct sunlight. Use within 3 months befroe rustling up a fresh amount.

Note: You could dry toast the cumin, coriander and peppercorns before grinding and combining. The heat really brings out the flavours and aromas and is recommended if you have a spare few minutes Click here to read about how to do this. (Link opens in new window)

Note: I like to use whole spices for my blends where possible as these will add the best flavours. However, if you don't have them whole just use pre-ground powders and reduce the amounts the recipe requires by half. So, for 2 tablespoons of coriander seeds you use 1 tablespoon of pre-ground coriander. Reduce any others you don't have whole by half as well and stir in with any other powders when making.
