Tasty Thursday – Fajitas BBQ Rub – For Chicken, Fish or Veggies

By December 20, 2012April 16th, 201412 Comments

Happy Tasty Thursday!

Today we are going to make a dry rub from scratch. Throw away the processed store bought junk and make your very own, healthy rub. This recipe will make about a 1/2 cup so you can store the rest and use it for a quick meal.

 

Use 2 tbsp of spice rub mix to add to poultry or fish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, 4 hours is better or overnight. I have used this rub without marinating and it still tasted great. You can also marinate and freeze your meat for 1-2 months.

 

To use this rub as a flavoured crust for searing and barbecuing, pat dry onto meat. To allow flavours to infuse better when marinating, use 1 tsp of oil per portion of meat.

 

For every 4 servings:

1 lb/500 g bonelesss meats/poultry or
1-1/2 lb/750 g bone0in meat/poultry or
1 lb/500 g fish
