Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the lemon zest by grating the outer yellow layer of the lemon skin using a microplane or fine grater. Avoid grating the white pith as it is bitter.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the lemon zest, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, parsley flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Mix the ingredients well using a spoon or whisk to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Transfer the Lemon and Herb Rub into an airtight container or spice jar for storage. Keep in a cool, dry place for up to one month.
Use the rub by sprinkling it generously over your desired dish before cooking. It works especially well with grilled chicken, baked fish, roasted vegetables, or even as a seasoning for sautéed potatoes.
