{"id":3198,"slug":"spice-rub","title":"Spice Rub","description":"A spice rub is a mixture of salt, herbs, and spices. It can be as simple as a large amount of pepper, like in Steak au Poivre, or as complex as 100 spices. One formula for a good spice rub is a base, such as paprika, and then add on from there. However, beware commercial spice mixtures. Many of them are salt-based because salt fills volume, is cheap, and fills in for spices they can't get.","ingredients_raw":["1 cup paprika","¼ cup salt","¼ cup black pepper","½ cup chipotle powder","½ cup brown sugar","¾ cup dehydrated lemon peel","¼ cup dried rosemary","2 tbsp cayenne pepper"],"ingredients_norm":["paprika","salt","black pepper","chipotle powder","brown sugar","dehydrated lemon peel","dried rosemary","cayenne pepper"],"steps":["Combine all ingredients in an airtight container.","Stored in a cool, dark place this will last for a long time."],"categories":["Spice mix recipes","Recipes for spice mixes","Recipes using cayenne"],"prep_time_minutes":null,"cook_time_minutes":null,"total_time_minutes":null,"servings":null,"yield_text":null,"difficulty":"very easy","source_name":"wikibooks","source_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Spice_Rub","source_ref":"4516624","authors_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Spice_Rub&action=history","license":"CC BY-SA 4.0","license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","extraction_confidence":null,"content_hash":"95588cb6c886866c14acaeb203a5fc907f046969043053ef6b37766d9513e83c","created_at":"2026-08-02T14:43:23Z","updated_at":"2026-08-02T14:43:23Z","notice":null,"url":"https://recipecontextprotocol.com/recipes/spice-rub"}
