I use this on chicken and lamb before grilling, broiling, baking, or roasting, though it's probably good on other meat as well. It's also excellent on roast vegetables. Most recent use: a mixture of chopped roasted turnips, sweet potatoes, and onions, tossed with the spice mixture and olive oil. Spice-rubbed chicken on top of that. Truly fantastic.

To use: Rub liberally on to meat or toss with vegetables before roasting. I like to pull the skin off chicken thighs, apply the rub to the meat, then replace the skins and apply it to the skin. Roast skin-up for spicy crisp skin.

Ingredients:

Brown sugar.

Powdered ginger. Slightly less ginger than sugar.

Cumin. Maybe a fourth or fifth as much cumin as the sugar. (ie, much less cumin.)

Salt and pepper. About as much or less than the amount of cumin.

Mix thoroughly. Taste. Adjust seasonings accordingly.

If you have your own super-delicious spice mixture, please share in comments!
