How to: Spice Rubsposted in Spices and Seasonings by Jessica HowardWhat is a Spice Rub?Most of us are familiar with marinating as a way to infuse meat with flavour before grilling or baking. Another way to flavor meat is to rub it with a mixture of dry ingredients called a spice rub. These rubs typically contain salt or sugar and spices, but can also contain flavorings like coffee grounds, cocoa, sesame seeds and dried chili peppers. Once you’ve got a spice rub on hand, you can use it to jazz up other dishes, like seamed vegetables or soup. Another use is in salad dressing; simply mix some of the spice mixture with oil and vinegar. How Do I Apply a Spice Rub?Just sprinkle the rub on the meat, then spread it around with your fingers. A spice rub will act as a seasoning if it’s used just before cooking. It can be put on the meat up to a day in advance for more flavour. How Do I Make a Spice Rub?Grocery stores usually sell a variety of spice rubs, but chances are you have the ingredients to make your own. Some spice rub recipes might call for you to buy the whole spice, and then grind it at home using a coffee grinder, blender or mortar and pestle. Grinding the spices yourself will intensify the flavour, but definitely isn’t necessary. Here Are Some Recipes for Spice Rubs
