BBQ Seasoning

Sugar, salt, smoked paprika, garlic, onion, chile pepper, cumin, coriander, and a few other surprises make up this New Mexico dust red powder. Throw-n-go with this one, but a good massage into meat the night before will ensure a more flavorful final product.

We all have our own ways of using this at Spice Jungle. Marketing sprinkles it over corn on the cob. The boyfriend of the girl in sales dabbles some into pots of baked beans. One of our guys in accounting mixes in a suicidal amount of ground scorpion chiles for a nearly hallucination-inducing level of heat. Our copywriter? His husband dusts a teaspoon of it in béchamel sauce for mac and cheese swirled with chopped, fire-roasted New Mexico chiles. Really, though, there’s no wrong way to go.
