Pepper And Coriander Rub Recipes

THE ULTIMATE DRY RUB

Steps:

• Combine all spices and herbs in a bowl and mix very well. (You can also combine it in a jar with a lid, close the lid and shake well to mix.)
• Dry rub can be used right away or stored for up to 6 months.
• To use: spread mixed dry rub in a rimmed baking sheet or a large bowl, whichever fits the meat you are using best. Add meat and generously rub it all over with the dry rub, getting every nook and cranny, while massaging the dry rub into the meat.
• To store: For the best way to keep dry rubs fresh, use a zip-lock freezer bag and store it in the freezer. Get as much air out of the bag as you can before sealing it.(You can also store dry rub for up to 6-months in air-tight jar in a cool dark place or in the refrigerator.)

ALL-PURPOSE DRY RUB

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well with a fork to break up the sugar and combine the spices. Mixture will keep in an airtight container, out of the light, for a few months.

CUMIN-CORIANDER PORK RUB

Steps:

• Combine the kosher salt, coriander, cumin, chili powder, paprika, allspice, and black pepper in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use.
• To use, rub 1 tablespoon per serving onto the meat of your choice before grilling or cooking as desired.

ROASTED TURKEY RUBBED WITH CORIANDER, BLACK PEPPER, AND FENNEL

Steps:

• Place turkey, breast-side up, on a work surface. Pull a leg away from body; slice through skin between breast and drumstick. Turn turkey on its side. Bend leg back till thighbone pops out of socket. Cut through joints and skin to detach leg completely. Repeat on other side. With turkey still on its side, pull a wing away from body. Cut through joints; remove wing. Repeat on other side. Lift turkey and, with kitchen shears, cut downward through rib cage and then shoulder joints to separate breast from back. Cut back in half crosswise (so it will fit in pot). You can ask your butcher to do this -- just make sure you still get all bones and wings.
• Make turkey stock: Place turkey back, neck, and wings in a stockpot; add 12 cups water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 3 hours. Strain. (You should have 6 to 7 cups stock.)
• Meanwhile, toast fennel and coriander seeds and peppercorns in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, swirling pan occasionally, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool completely. Set aside 2 tablespoons of toasted spices; grind remainder in a spice grinder. Add 5 teaspoons salt and thyme; stir to combine. Rub mixture all over turkey breast and legs (both skin side and meat side). Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
• Remove turkey from refrigerator; let stand at room temperature 1 hour, 30 minutes. During last 30 minutes, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pat turkey dry. Spread butter over breast. Arrange onion and fennel slices in the center of a large roasting pan (to create a rack for turkey breast). Scatter garlic around onion. Place turkey breast on vegetable rack. Roast 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high. Swirl in oil. Add turkey legs, skin-sides down, and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip skin-sides up; add thyme sprigs and wine. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute. Add 3 1/2 cups stock and reserved toasted spices; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes.
• Remove roasting pan from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees. Add legs to pan, skin-sides up, along with liquid from skillet; meat sides should be partially submerged but skin should sit above liquid. Return to oven and roast, basting turkey with pan juices every 20 minutes, until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast (nearest but not touching bone) reads 155 degrees, about 1 hour, 10 minutes.
• Transfer turkey to a cutting board (tent with foil to keep warm, if desired). Remove and discard onion; reserve garlic. Strain cooking liquid into a medium saucepan; let stand 15 minutes. Skim and discard fat. Transfer 1/2 cup liquid to a small bowl; whisk in flour, then whisk mixture back into saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Carve turkey; serve, with gravy and roasted garlic, garnished with pomegranates, kumquats, oranges, and gooseberries.

CITRUS-CORIANDER RUB

Steps:

• In a small airtight container, combine lemon zest, orange zest, coriander, and pepper. Cover and shake well to combine. To store, refrigerate, up to 1 week.
• To use, heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Toss 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, with 1/3 cup mixture. Thread onto skewers and brush lightly with vegetable oil. Grill until opaque throughout, 3 minutes per side.

GARLIC-PEPPER RUB

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients; store in a covered container. Rub over meat or poultry; let stand at least 30 minutes before grilling or broiling.

BRISKET WITH CORIANDER, BLACK PEPPER AND BROWN SUGAR

Steps:

• Rinse the brisket under cold water and pat dry. Season with the coriander, salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne.
• Heat the oil in a roasting pan until just smoking. (Make sure area is well-ventilated). Sear the brisket until browned on all sides. Remove to platter, cover, and let stand about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, arrange 2 long overlapping sheets of aluminum foil that are large enough to envelop the brisket on a work surface.
• Preheat the oven to 300 deg F.
• Mix the brown sugar and mustard in a small bowl to make a small paste. Rub the brisket with the paste and place on top of the foil sheets.
• Tightly wrap the brisket in the foil so that no mustard paste can escape.
• Place the brisket on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan and cook for 10 hours; when done, a paring knife should pierce the meat with ease. Let cool slightly.
• Unwrap the brisket, slice and serve with mashed potatoes.
• Leftover brisket can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Note: I made this last weekend with beef ribs - just the rub, not the paste. I sectioned the ribs and rubbed with the spice mixture, then threw into the slow cooker for about ten hours on low. Very tender and flavorful. So, another option.

SPICED PEPPER RUB

Steps:

• Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the spices and dry-roast, shaking the pan often, for 5 minutes. Store in an airtight container. This rub can be used on the surface of beef, lamb, pork or chicken before grilling, broiling or pan-frying.

PEPPER AND CORIANDER RUB

Steps:

• In food processor, "crack" the pepper, coriander seeds, and salt separately and then mix, adjusting amount of salt to taste.
• Rub olive oil on fish or meat and sprinkle with garlic powder.
• Rub mixture over entire piece.
• Barbecue or bake in oven as you prefer.
