The Grilled Recipes kitchen invites you to try Chile Spice Rub Recipe. Enjoy our collection of tasty rub recipes and learn how to make Chile Spice Rub.
This rub is the reason we return over and over again to our favorite lunch spot in Burlington, Vermont: Penny Cluse Café. Although we prefer the blend of chiles given here, any combination of 12 dried chiles will give you a delicious, spicy result. Use on: Extra-firm tofu, shrimp, scallops, salmon, mahi-mahi, chicken, pork, beef, lamb
1 cup
Active Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
4 dried New Mexico chiles
4 dried cascabel chiles
4 dried ancho chiles
1/2 cup cumin seeds
1/4 cup dried oregano
1/4 cup paprika
3 tablespoons kosher salt
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Stem and seed chiles. Spread them on a small baking sheet and roast until fragrant, about 4 minutes.
Transfer to a medium bowl.
Spread cumin seeds on the baking sheet and roast until smoking and very fragrant, about 6 minutes. Stir in oregano and roast for 2 minutes more. Add to the bowl with the chiles, then add paprika and salt; stir to combine. Let cool slightly. Transfer to a food processor and process until the mixture is finely ground.
Measure out 2 tablespoons of the rub. Using your hands, rub it evenly onto 1 1/2 pounds (6 servings) of your chosen protein just before grilling.
