Moroccan Spice Rub
by Stu Stein
If there's a commercially prepared North African-inspired spice rub that you like, feel free to use it instead for the Moroccan Grilled Chicken Sandwiches.
Yields about 1/4 cup.
2 Tbs. sweet paprika (preferably Hungarian)
1 tsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
1/4 tsp. cayenne
In a small bowl, stir together all the ingredients. Cover the bowl. Stored in an airtight container, the spice rub will keep at room temperature for up to six months.
