For a deeper, more complex flavor, lightly toast the whole spices (coriander seeds, cumin seeds, peppercorns, cinnamon stick, and nutmeg) in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes before grinding. Allow to cool completely before grinding and mixing with the salt. Adjust the quantities of each spice to suit your personal preference. For a spicier rub, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. This spice rub is also delicious when used to season roasted vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, or zucchini.

Apr 2, 2025This rub is fantastic! I used it on a leg of lamb for Easter and it was a huge hit. The aroma while it was roasting was incredible.

Jan 26, 2025I've been using this spice rub on chicken skewers for my summer barbecues, and they always disappear so fast! It's a simple way to add so much flavor.
