Simon & Garfunkel Rub

Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme make a pretty good song as well as an all-purpose rub for pork, turkey, and chicken. I also sprinkle it on sautéed veggies, scrambled eggs, grilled potatoes, the outside of baked potatoes, grilled asparagus—you name it.

Makes about ¼ cup

Takes 10 minutes

• 2 tablespoons crushed dried sage
• 1 tablespoon crushed dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon crushed dried rosemary
• 1 tablespoon crushed dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon crushed dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon crushed dried basil
• 1 tablespoon crushed bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Put everything in a blender or food processor and pulse for a few seconds until you have a coarse powder.
