Spicy Paprika Rub
Just about any herbs or spices that are typically combined, can be made into a rub. Rubs should coat foods lightly. Use your fingers to rub the mixture on the meat, using about one teaspoon for every three quarters of a pound, Unlike most marinades, which often require overnight soaking, rubs can be applied just before cooking or up to several hours head. Which rub to use depends on the food you’re preparing. The heartier the food, the stronger the rub should be. Enjoy!
