Grilling and summer are inseparable. It’s a quintessential summer activity, it takes the heat of cooking out of the house, and in Israel, the chances of it raining on you are practically nil.
And the smell of it drives your neighbors crazy. Right, guys?
Dry spice rubs are for meats and fish that are fatty enough not to dry out on the grill. You can mix it into your chopped meat to give your burgers and extra or even season grilled vegetables with it. For anything that doesn’t have it’s own moisture, a chicken breast for instance, pour oil into a bowl, add enough spice mix to make a thin paste, and brush it on.
To help you add a little sizzle to your summer grill, here are some classic spice rubs from around the world. If you need any help identifying these spices in Hebrew, take a look at my Hebrew English Spice Chart.
This simple spice blend can go on grilled meat, chicken or vegetables to give it a flavorful kick.
