BBQ Rub

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Salt – I always use sea salt in my cooking and baking.            
• Pepper – freshly ground or pre-ground black pepper
• Sugar – I like to use light brown sugar for sweetness in this rub.
• Cumin – This will add some lovely earthy tones to this recipe.
• Onion – I prefer to use granules as opposed to powder.
• Garlic – Granules work better than powder.
• Paprika – Some smoked paprika will add smoky flavors to the rub.
• Cayenne – This will add some spice to the recipe.
• Mustard – Ground mustard adds great flavors to it.

How to Make a BBQ Rub

Add all the dry spices to a medium-sized bowl.

Using a fork, spoon, or whisk, mix everything until combined.  Use, or cover and store.
