Magic Dust is a Must!

[HawgHeaven]

I don't know if any of you have read Peace, Love and Barbeque by Mike Mills. If you haven't, then I highly recommend it... Lots of great recipes, great stories, great pictures and dozens of lies. Ya' gotta get a copy! When you do, go right to page 67 and whip up some Magic Dust... you'll love it!

Magic Dust

Ingredients:

½ cup paprika
¼ cup kosher salt, finely ground
¼ cup sugar
2 tbs mustard powder
¼ cup chili powder
¼ cup ground cumin
2 tbs ground black pepper
¼ cup granulated garlic
2 tbs cayenne pepper

Directions:

Mix all ingredients and store in a tightly covered container.

Yield:

About 2 ½ cups

I love this stuff. It gets sprinkled on just about everything! When I do my BBB chickens (Brined Beer Butt), this is what I use for a rub. Doing a saute of veggies? Use it. Fried fish? Use it. Got a fresh salad? Use it. Making pizza? Use it. Making a fatty? Use it. Deviled eggs? You know. And for the piece d'resistance... sprinkle this on your Atomic Buffalo Turds... awesome!

Experiment with it, have fun with it, but most of all, enjoy it!

Yeah, it's a great book... I found my copy on Amazon for $4.00 used, which made it even better! :D

Nice. Will try it this weekend.

I made some of this up. Thought it was a little strong on the chili powder. (Not a big fan) But I tried it on the eggs I made this weekend, and man is that good. Will have to see what other things it's good on.
