Meat rubs

[spankles]

The barbecue thread is fine, but I'm not a big fan of sauces/marinating meat.

Anyone have any favorite dry rubs for pork or lamb? I've tried some pre-packaged ones that are pretty good, and I've made my own for lamb, but I'm wondering what else is out there.

Thanks!

For those who like to rub. Try this one Spankles. I agree. I don't much care for sauces either.

Sweet tropical spice rub

1 tbsp. ground allspice
1 tbsp. ground nutmeg
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. salt

(Makes ~1/4 cup) Combine and shake ingredients in a small "tupperware" container or a jar you can close up tight. This can sit for several days to several weeks.

interesting...

I've used several types, feel more comfy with marinating, injection, and or
stuffing. I guess it's a reaction I have after trying some of the boiled crawfish
they do in some Lafayette restaraunts. They put the seasoning on "dry" afterward and it's "teh suck" . I realize, not all foods react the same way, but that messed with my mind and taste buds there. I'll normally do a combo of marinate or inject and then rub.

Of course with crawfish I'll admit to being brainwashed about the "down da Bayou Fourchon" way of doing things.
