  • Grind the peppers: Once the peppers are toasted, grind them into a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. This will help to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the rub.

  • Use the rub on your favorite meats: This rub can be used on a variety of meats, including chicken, beef, pork, and lamb. Simply rub the mixture onto the meat before cooking. You can also use it as a marinade by combining it with olive oil or yogurt.
