Number 1 Dry Rub

Yields1 ServingPrep Time5 minsTotal Time5 mins

This is our go to rub for dark meats but it works just as well on Pork. It's sweet, spicy and awesome when finished over a naked flame to add a little bit of crunch to the exterior of your food. It's so easy to make - simply bang it all into a bowl and mix together

BBQ Pork Shoulder

 3 tbsp Dark Brown Sugar
 1 tbsp Sea Salt or Kosher Salt
 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
 1 tsp Garlic Powder
 1 tsp Onion Powder
 1 tsp Black Pepper
 1 tsp Ground Cumin
 ½ tsp Cayenne Pepper for heat
 ½ tsp Mustard Powder
 ½ tsp Dried Thyme or Oregano

This really couldn't be simpler to make and that's why it's our Number 1 dry rub, simply measure out your ingredients into a bowl and mix them all together.

After you've done that it can be stored in zip lock bags or in Kilner Jars it's perfect for gammons, steaks & briskets, in fact anything which requires a little spicy warmth and some sweetness.

All you need to do is pat it onto your item and leave it to rest, preferably overnight in the fridge before cooking. I like to vacuum pack mine for a couple of days to let the flavours really penetrate into the meat but you can just as simply place the food into a sealable bag and squeeze the air out before sealing.

Notes

This rub is awesome on so many different foods and our only advice would be - remember it contains sugar and therefore will burn(we pro's like to call it caramelisation) if you aren't careful. Control your heat, if you're using a gas BBQ try turning off every other burner to have a colder section to cook over where you can use the indirect heat.
