Zvia's Afghan Spice Rub image

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.

I was so excited to try this spice rub, but I was disappointed. The flavor was bland and it didn't add any excitement to my dish.

I've tried many different spice rubs, but this one is by far the best. It's so flavorful and versatile. I've used it on chicken, beef, and pork, and it's always delicious.

This spice rub is amazing! I used it on chicken and it was so flavorful and juicy. The spices are perfectly balanced and give the chicken a delicious Afghan flavor. I will definitely be using this rub again and again.
