Mustard Free Italian Herb & Spice Rub
Dry rubs and spice blends are one of those sneaky places where mustard powder likes to hide, making store-bought seasoning mixes a frustrating gamble. This blend keeps things completely clean with a lineup of classic Italian herbs and warm spices that you can actually read and trust. Oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme form the aromatic backbone, while smoked paprika adds a subtle depth and turmeric brings a gorgeous golden color to whatever you're cooking. Garlic powder ties it all together, and a pinch of red pepper flakes gives you the option to dial up the heat. It comes together in minutes — just stir everything into a bowl and transfer it to a jar — and it keeps for up to six months, so you can batch it out and have it ready whenever inspiration strikes. Use it as a rub for chicken, pork, or roasted vegetables, or stir it into olive oil for a quick marinade. Once you have a go-to blend this good sitting on your shelf, you'll wonder why you ever reached for a packet.
