  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
  • 2 teaspoons fresh basil
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons coriander

  • 1/2 teaspoon lime juice

Method

  • Combine all the ingredients in a blender (or use an emmulsion blender). Blend into a thick, chunky paste. Refrigerate for at least 2 hrs for flavors to blend. (You can also opt to just mix well for a chunkier rub).
  • The mixture will keep in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for several months.
