Time 5m

Yield 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground mustard
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion salt or 1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Store in a covered container. Rub over meat or poultry before cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Paprika: Use high-quality paprika with a vibrant red color and a slightly smoky aroma. For a spicy rub, opt for Hungarian paprika, which has a moderate heat level and a rich flavor.
  • Freshly Ground Spices: Whenever possible, use freshly ground spices for the best flavor. Pre-ground spices tend to lose their potency and aroma over time.
  • Adjust the Heat Level: The amount of cayenne pepper in the rub can be adjusted to suit your desired heat level. For a milder rub, use less cayenne pepper or omit it completely. For a spicier rub, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add a pinch of chili powder.
  • Use Coarse Salt: Coarse salt provides a better texture to the rub and helps it adhere to the meat. Avoid using fine salt, as it can make the rub too salty.
  • Store Properly: Store the spicy paprika rub in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will keep for several months.

Conclusion:

Spicy paprika rub is a versatile and flavorful seasoning that can be used on a variety of meats, poultry, and vegetables. It's easy to make and can be customized to suit your desired heat level. Whether you're grilling, roasting, or smoking your food, this rub will add a delicious smoky and spicy flavor that will tantalize your taste buds. So next time you're looking for a flavorful rub, give this spicy paprika rub a try.
