Great Grill Rub- an essential ingredient when the weather is fabulous

Warm weather is here!  And as my windows find themselves open to welcome in the fabulous Spring breezes, every evening they also seem to be welcoming in the mouthwatering fragrances of grilled food.  Often this influence from my neighbors has led to a last minute menu change for our family.  Having a tasty multi-purpose grill seasoning on hand is the secret to quick success.  I like to mix up a large batch of this recipe and store it in air-tight containers.  It makes a wonderful gift and is terrific on fish, beef, chicken, or vegetables!

Great Grill Rub 

1 TBSP ground black pepper
1TBSP brown sugar
2 TBSP fine sea salt
1 TBSP dehydrated shallots, ground fine
1 TBSP Hungarian Paprika
1 TBSP thyme

Combine ingredients, store in an air-tight container and use to season beef, chicken, pork, or vegetables before grilling.  Coat whatever you want seasoned with a little extra virgin olive oil then sprinkle generously with this seasoning.

If you tuned in last Tuesday morning when Theresa on 91.7FM The Promise discussed the seasoning on the grilled chicken I had prepared, this is not that same “top secret” recipe.  But, this is also very delicious.
