The Desert Dish

Rubs are easy to make and can be stored for weeks. Everything goes in a bowl and just make sure to mix all the ingredients well. I have a couple easy ones here, and you probably have all the items at home already.

Spicy Rub 

Chili Powder                      1 cup

Ground Cumin                   1/2 cup

Garlic Powder                   1/4 cup

Dried Oregeno Leaves     2 Tablespoons

Red Ground Pepper          1 Tablespoon

This would be great with chicken wings or a pork tenderloin, for the chicken wings I would let marinate in the rub for a couple hours but the pork I would add it to the meat just before i seared it in a hot pan.

West Indian Rub

Curry Powder                 1/2 cup

Garlic Powder                1/4 cup

Black Ground Pepper     1/4 cup

Salt                                 1/4 cup

Ground Ginger               3 Tablespoons

Red Ground Pepper      1 Tablespoon

This rub would be ideal for Shrimp, Chicken, Salmon or Lamb.
