• 1 tablespoon Ground paprika (sweet or smoked)
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, measure out all the ingredients: ground coriander, ground cumin, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, ground black pepper, ground paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and brown sugar.

Step 2

Use a whisk or fork to thoroughly mix the spices together until evenly combined.

Step 3

If you'd like a finer texture, you can sift the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any clumps.

Step 4

Transfer the Yemen Rub to an airtight container, such as a glass jar or spice tin. Label the container with the name and date for storage.

Step 5

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light. The rub will stay fresh for up to 6 months when properly stored.

Step 6

To use, generously apply the rub to meats, poultry, fish, or vegetables before cooking. For optimal flavor, allow your protein or veggies to sit with the rub for at least 30 minutes before grilling, roasting, or pan-searing.
