MULTI-PURPOSE DRY RUB

I use this multi-purpose dry rub on everything – from sprinkling on ribs and chicken, to seasoning a meatloaf and a roast. Note, that I don’t add sugar to the mix as I find its not necessary for 99% of the dishes out there. (For example: If I was doing a planked salmon I would add some brown sugar.)

It does have a bit of heat and tend to add a scoop of something extra, like powdered jalapeno, when I have it. But I tend to keep the base of it the same. I also make double batches of the below recipe as I found I was just using it up so fast.

I also use my coffee chili rub for some dishes. But note that it is quite a bit stronger in flavour and heat. It’s great on heartier meats like beef or sprinkled on eggs for a nice kick.
