Dave's magic Spicey Dry Rub

2023 Spicey Rub 2.0

  • measurements don't need to be precise

  • adjust chilli, cayenne & cumin to taste

  • leave your recommendations in the comments!

  • T Tablespoon

  • t teaspoon

  • C metric cup ~ 200mL

Ingredients

  • 2C dry fried onion
  • 16T paprika powder
  • 8T garlic powder
  • 8T dried marjoram or oreganum
  • 4T ground black pepper
  • 4T powdered ginger
  • 4T salt
  • 3T chilli powder
  • 3T cayenne powder
  • 2T brown mustard seeds
  • 1T cumin powder
  • 300g brown sugar
  • 2t coriander seeds
  • 2t yellow mustard powder

Add more spices after you've used it once. I like less sugar and more chilli compared to most rub recipes.

Recipe

  • grind seeds in a mortar & pestle
  • grind fried onion with about half the salt
  • grind the marjoram with the remaining salt
  • mix, shake well, store in air-tight jars

Usage On Veges

  • cut veges to large bite size
  • shake in a little oil
  • spread out in flat tray
  • sprinkle liberally over veges
  • bake. enjoy.

Usage on Chicken

  • oil inside and outside of chicken / pieces
  • rub 1T of yellow mustard powder over the meat
  • sprinkle mix liberally and rub it into corners and inside
  • cook fast on a high heat

Usage On Ribs

  • ensure ribs are at room temperature
  • remove the inner membrane
  • turn rib "round side" down
  • spread a little oil on the rib
  • sprinkle 0,5T yellow mustard powder on the rib
  • this should make a sticky mix like a thick honey
  • sprinkle 1T of the rub on the rib and work it into the ribs and the sticky mix
  • flip the rib, now it should be the right way up to look at
  • do the oil, mustard, rub mix dance again

Cooking

  • best is in the oven, unless you have a grill you can control the temperature on
  • precise temperature and duration is very oven & grill dependent
  • cook between 120C - 140C for around 2 hours
  • grill for 5 minutes on high to give it a nice crusty finish if you want
  • the sugar will burn very quickly, keep a close eye on it
