As soon as summer arrives in your part of the world, it's time to think about dusting off the barbecue and getting your pork rib rub recipes ready for grilling or slow cooking your meat until it drips off the bone! An easy-to-make recipe, it'll also season and flavour your other cuts of pork.
Ingredients: (makes about 9 tablespoons)
4 tbsp paprika (I used smoked)
2 tbsp mustard seeds
2 tbsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp dried thyme
1 tbsp dried rosemary
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp chili powder
2-3 tsp salt
tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon
Directions:
Store in an airtight jar out of direct sunlight and in a cool place. Use within 6 months.
Cover your meat evenly with the pork rib rub and massage in so you get a nice coating.
Wrap or cover and place in the refrigerator for an hour or so or, even better, overnight so the flavours really soak in.
About an hour before cooking time, take out of the fridge and allow the meat to return to room temperature.
