Summer has kicked into full gear and many of us have been spending time outdoors. One of the things I enjoy doing during this time of the year is hosting various backyard barbecues and fun summer themed parties.
The great folks over at Colman’s Mustard sent over this very easy to prepare recipe so that I could share it with all of you.
BBQ Dry Rub Recipe
1/3 cup Garlic Powder
1 1/2 tbsp Cumin, ground
2 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
1 tbsp Cayenne
¼ cup Colman’s mustard powder
1/4 cup Cinnamon or canella, ground
2 cup La Colombe Decaf. Espresso, ground
1 1/2 cup Salt, kosher
1/2 cup Black Pepper, ground
Mix all together in a bowl and store in a sealed jar in a cool, dry place. To use, rub on meat, fish or vegetable and let sit for at least 3 hours for meat, or 30 minutes for fish or vegetables.

I know that coffee grounds can make a good,marinade , but I think that these are freshly ground and I would not want to use all,of that in a marinade. However the combination of flavors should be delicious
Interesting combination of flavors in this rub. Never heard if canella before.
I have never made my own dry rub before, I can’t wait to give this a try. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Very different! It sounds really good and we will have to give a try.
That’s odd about the coffee. I heard just this morning that coffee grounds (used from making cold coffee, strained) is good for meat rubs and wondered how that would taste. I must try it for myself since I love the flavor of coffee in anything.
