Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Coarse sea salt
- 2 teaspoons Coarsely ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (freshly grated)
Instructions
In a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, lightly crush the dried rosemary to release its oils and make the pieces smaller, but do not grind into a powder. Alternatively, manually chop the dried rosemary with a knife for a finer consistency.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed rosemary with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes if desired.
Add the freshly grated lemon zest to the mixture and stir well to ensure even distribution of all the ingredients.
Transfer the Tuscan Rosemary Dry Rub into an airtight container or mason jar to store. The rub will stay fresh for up to 6 months if stored in a cool, dark place.
To use, generously apply the dry rub onto your choice of protein (such as chicken, pork, beef, or lamb) and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. For enhanced flavor, apply the rub and refrigerate overnight.
