Ginger Free Italian Herb & Spice Rub
A homemade spice blend this fragrant and versatile deserves a permanent spot in your pantry. Earthy oregano and basil anchor the mix, while smoked paprika adds a subtle depth and ground turmeric brings a warm, golden color that makes whatever you're cooking look as good as it tastes. Crushed rosemary and thyme round everything out with that unmistakably Mediterranean character. Many store-bought Italian seasoning blends sneak in ginger or other unexpected additions, so mixing your own from scratch means you know exactly what's going in the jar. The whole process takes about two minutes — just stir everything together and seal it up. It keeps for up to six months, so you can rub it onto chicken, toss it with roasted vegetables, or stir it into olive oil for a quick dipping sauce whenever the mood strikes.
