Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Dried rosemary
• 1 tablespoon Dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons Dried tarragon
• 2 teaspoons Dried marjoram
• 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
• 2 teaspoons Black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

In a small spice grinder or mortar and pestle, combine the dried rosemary, dried thyme, dried oregano, dried tarragon, and dried marjoram.

Step 2

Add the fennel seeds, coarse sea salt, and black peppercorns to the mix.

Step 3

Pulse the mixture in the spice grinder or crush with the mortar and pestle until the herbs and spices are evenly broken down but still maintain a slightly coarse texture. Avoid over-grinding; the rub should be rustic, not powdery.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and add garlic powder and smoked paprika. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Step 5

Store the Rustic French Rub in an airtight container, such as a glass jar, for up to 6 months in a cool, dark place.

Step 6

Use 1-2 teaspoons of the rub per pound of meat, poultry, or vegetables for seasoning. Rub directly onto the surface or incorporate into marinades as desired.
