Mediterranean Spice Rub When Americans think of the Mediterranean they think of garlic, onion, basil, and oregano. Street food is grilled in open markets and eaten on the street. My blend was made especially for grilled meats, but it would be delicious sprinkled over Mediterranean type vegetables. Meat rubs are exactly what they sound like. Rub whatever you are seasoning with the blend and cook. Ideally rubs are used to grill or bake. Other ingredients can be added to this rub; olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, white wine, or red wine. I love to serve grilled chicken with this rub with salads, with pasta, in lasagna, with rice, or in soups. My favorite recipe with this rub is simple and amazing. Boil enough noodles for yourself and strain. In sauté pan at 2 T. margarine/butter and melt with 1 tsp. rub. When butter starts to boil add 1 T white wine and sauté for 2 minutes. Take off heat and toss with noodles, toss in 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and devour!!! Parmesan can be substituted with fontina, pecorino, or Romano cheeses. |
