Be the first to rate it
A hot dry rub of smoke-dried habanero powder, cumin, garlic, onion, salt and pepper. Rub it on meat, let it sit, then cook, and keep the rest in a sealed jar.
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 tablespoons powdered smoke-dried habaneros
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon powdered garlic
- 1 teaspoon powdered onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- airtight jar
Directions
- Put all six ingredients in a small bowl.
- Stir until well combined, with no clumps.
- Pour into a clean jar, zip-top bag, or vacuum-seal bag.
- Close tightly and keep in a cool, dry place.
Notes
About 1 to 2 teaspoons per pound of meat. Pat food dry first; let rubbed meat sit 15 to 30 minutes before cooking. Airtight, cool, dry, out of direct light; best about 6 months. Refrigerate cooked leftovers within 2 hours; use within 3 to 4 days. Note: extremely hot (mostly habanero powder); gloves and care with airborne powder are wise.
