AFGHANI MEAT AND FISH SPICE RUB
This combination is good on any fish or any meat of your choosing. It was developed by an Afghan street vendor in NYC, Zvia. He rubs the blend all over beef, pork, or chicken 2 hours before grilling. He also likes it on tuna, swordfish, bluefish, and bass. It will give you a blackened effect. It is also delicious stirred into rice or soup.

ZVIA'S AFGHAN SPICE RUB
This blend that I learned from a Manhattan street vendor can be rubbed into beef, pork or chicken two hours before grilling. It also adds a pungent note to tuna, swordfish, bluefish or bass if rubbed onto both sides of the steaks or fillets about an hour before grilling. In either case, the rub can be left on the meat or fish while grilling to make a blackened, seasoned crust. Used as a spice, it can be stirred into boiled rice or summer soups to taste.

Tips for Using Afghan Meat and Fish Spice Rub:
- For the best results, use high-quality, fresh spices. If possible, grind your own spices to ensure maximum flavor and aroma.
- Use a mortar and pestle to grind the spices into a fine powder. This will help the flavors to better penetrate the meat or fish.
- Taste the spice rub before applying it to the meat or fish. This will help you to adjust the flavors to your liking.
- When applying the spice rub, use your hands to massage it into the meat or fish. This will help to ensure that the spices are evenly distributed and that they penetrate the food.
- Allow the meat or fish to marinate in the spice rub for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to fully develop.
- If you are grilling or roasting the meat or fish, be sure to preheat the grill or oven to the desired temperature before cooking. This will help to prevent the food from sticking.
- Cook the meat or fish to your desired doneness. For meat, use a meat thermometer to ensure that it has reached the desired internal temperature.
- Serve the meat or fish immediately with your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Afghan meat and fish spice rub is a versatile and flavorful blend that can be used to enhance the taste of a variety of dishes. Whether you are grilling, roasting, or pan-frying, this spice rub will add a delicious and authentic Afghan flavor to your food.
