Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon red chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon sumac
  • 1 tablespoon salt

Instructions

  • Add the sesame seeds to a dry skillet over medium/low heat. Shake frequently and toast the seeds until golden brown. When you smell them toasting - good chance they are done! Do not let them burn (turn black) remove from the skillet as soon as they are toasted as if you leave them in the skillet they will continue to cook.
  • Combine the ingredients and mix together well.
  • Store in an airtight container. For use on chicken, seafood, pork or beef. Enjoy!

Notes

No turmeric? Your best substitute would be dried ginger. It will change the taste of the rub a bit, but if you don't want to buy a spice you may not use again just substitute with dried ginger.
What I love about turmeric is the bright yellow beautiful color!
No Sumac? Substitute lemon pepper seasoning. Again this will change the flavor a bit but I'd hate for you to be purchasing spices and seasoning you don't ordinarily use.
