This is a quick and easy spice mix to knock together ahead of time and can easily be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place.

The rub itself is infused with the flavours of the Caribbean and when combined it works well with pretty much any protein especially chicken, pork and fish.

Clancy’s tip….. place the rub in a ziplock bag and store it in the freezer to bring out when needed. No defrosting required.

What you need:

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon ground allspice
• 2 tablespoons black pepper (ground)
• 1 ^1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ^½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ^½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

What you do with it…

Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl, mixing well.

Place the rub mix into an airtight container or a ziplock bag and store until required. If stored correctly, it should keep well for a month.
