Dry Rub Recipe

Spring is here & grilling is everywhere. I can't turn on the television without seeing some kind of cooking segment or show about the great American pastime. I've found another draw back of living in the big city(there are lots). No backyard garden to plant fresh herbs & veggies & no place for a grill. I have thought about putting one out on my fire escape, but it's against the law. A piece of BBQ chicken straight from the flame may be worth a little law breaking, but the worrier in me stresses about burning my entire building down.
I saw a HGTV show all about dry rubs & it sparked my interest. I did a little online research & found one that's very simple. I put it on a pork tenderloin & will let it marinate over night. Tomorrow I'll roast it, but the rest of you can slap it on your grill. Lucky dogs!!!
Ingredients
2 TBLS ground pepper
2 TBLS paprika
2 TBLS onion powder
1/2 TBLS brown sugar
1 TBLS chili powder
1 TBLS salt
1/2 tsp ground sage
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Rub into meat or poultry. Place meat/chicken in a large ziplock bag & put in the refrigerator. Marinate for at least 6 hours.

Mmmm, I've been getting a lot of recipes from blogs lately, thanks! Back at school in the college town, I'm in an apartment but we have a tiny balconey and that's where we put our grill. Ha!

Moment of bragging...I have a grill. I have never used this grill (although firends have used it while visiting). Hmm...it does not seem as if my bragging is very effictive.

I might actually do this rub...even I can do this, yes? please say yes.

Hi Dawn, Thanks for dropping by via Michele. Yummm, I'm going to try that recipe tomorrow. We're getting snow tonight (can you believe?) so maybe I'll just cook it on the George Forman Grill.

I LOVE cooking shows. I miss watching The Food Channel. I look at the site though. Hey I forgot if I told you my sister went to FIT? Also, Have you ever been to Golden Pond on Queens Blvd. It's the best chinese food ever!! I suggest you go try it!

Hi Arethusa & Cyn. Let me know how the recipe turns out. Snow in May is just crazy!
Michele -Yes, girl, even you can make this recipe. It soooooo easy, so give it a try & let me know if you like it.
Mrs. Mogul- What a small world. I haven't been to Golden Pond but, Queens Blvd is near me so I shall look it up. Thanks for the tip.
