Classic Barbecue Rub




Source of Recipe


From "Taming the Flame" by Elizabeth Karmel






List of Ingredients



• 2 Tbsp smoked paprika
  
• 2 Tbsp kosher salt
  
• 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
  
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  
• 1 Tbsp ground cumin
  
• 1 Tbsp chili powder
  
• 1 Tbsp freshly ground black pepper
  
• ½ Tbsp cayenne pepper
  
• 1 Tbsp onion powder
  
• 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  
• 1 Tbsp celery salt
  
• 1 tsp oregano, crushed
  






Instructions



1. Combine the smoked paprika, salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt and oregano in a medium bowl and mix well. For a smoother rub, process the ingredients in a spice grinder until well combined and all pieces are uniform (the rub will be very fine and tan in color).

   Makes about 1 cup.
   






Final Comments


This rub has all the classic barbecue notes: salt, spice, sweet and smoke. It is particularly great on ribs, but it works with pork chops and tenderloin, chicken, and even catfish.
