Tips:
- Use fresh herbs and spices. This will give your rub the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount, as they are more concentrated.
- Toast your spices before using them. This will bring out their flavor and aroma.
- Make a large batch of rub and store it in an airtight container. This way, you'll have it on hand whenever you need it.
- Experiment with different flavor combinations. There are endless possibilities when it comes to creating a Greek rub. Try using different herbs, spices, and citrus fruits to find a combination that you love.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your taste. If you like your rub more spicy, add more red pepper flakes. If you like it more lemony, add more lemon zest. The possibilities are endless.
Conclusion:
A Greek rub is a flavorful and versatile way to add some Mediterranean flair to your grilled meats. Whether you're using it on chicken, pork, or lamb, a Greek rub will give your food a delicious and aromatic crust. So next time you're firing up the grill, be sure to give this rub a try.
