bbq rub

I admit it. I'm a sucker for brand names and cute packaging. It's a weakness.

Recently, I was at HomeSense and found some Jamie Oliver branded products. For $9.99 I picked up two of his BBQ rubs...Spicy Herb Rub and Indian BBQ Rub. I used the spicy one on boneless, skinless chicken breasts. It was pretty spicy and the cumin was almost overpowering. Honestly, I could have made this concoction at home (paprika and cayenne chili, sea salt, cumin, black peppercorns, oregano, onion, garlic, thyme and paprika oil) but sometimes I'm just too lazy.

I'm eager to try the Indian BBQ rub on rack of lamb. I'm envisioning it served with cumin roasted cauliflower and a yogurt-cucumber-cilantro dip. Sounds like a good Friday night dinner to me!
