WILD MUSHROOM RUB

This is a versatile rub that works with chicken, pork, beef, lamb, and fish. After a few batches, you will probably want to double or triple the recipe. The rub stores well in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and will keep indefinitely.

1 cup (250 mL) mushroom powder (porcini, oyster, field, etc.) (here)

ΒΌ cup (60 mL) sugar

2 Tbsp (30 mL) salt

1 Tbsp (15 mL) chili powder

1 Tbsp (15 mL) ground black pepper

1 Tbsp (15 mL) garlic powder (not garlic salt)

1 Tbsp (15 mL) onion powder

1 Tbsp (15 mL) ground coriander

1 Tbsp (15 mL) ground cumin

1 Tbsp (15 mL) hot smoked paprika

In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients until evenly distributed. Set aside until needed. Store any extra in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
