Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)

Directions

Step 1

In a small, dry bowl, combine the dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, sweet paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, dried rosemary, ground black pepper, and kosher salt.

Step 2

Using a microplane or fine grater, zest one lemon to produce approximately one tablespoon of fresh lemon zest. Add the zest to the spice mixture.

Step 3

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly using a spoon or whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Place the rub into an airtight container or jar. If not using immediately, store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.

Step 5

To use, generously coat your choice of meat (such as chicken breasts, lamb chops, or pork tenderloin) with the Greek rub. Be sure to rub it into the meat on all sides for maximum flavor.

Step 6

Let the meat rest for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors before grilling. For enhanced flavor, marinate the meat in the rub overnight in the refrigerator.

Step 7

Grill the meat on a preheated grill according to the desired doneness. Enjoy the bold and aromatic flavors of the Mediterranean in every bite!
