APPLE RUB
The fruity apple and warm spice flavors in this rub are light and pleasing. Sprinkle it on pork tenderloin, chicken or turkey breasts to completely cover the outside of the meat and grill immediately. This makes enough for a whole chicken, 6 large pork chops, 2 pork tenderloins or a whole turkey breast.

Steps:
- Grind the apple chips to a very fine powder in a spice grinder. (The drier the powder, the better and the rub will last longer without clumping.) Transfer to a bowl.
- Grind the peppercorns, coriander seeds and allspice into a fine powder and add it to the apple powder.
- Add the sugar, salt, paprika, ginger and cinnamon to the apple powder mixture and combine well. If not using immediately, store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 30 days.
MOROCCAN-SPICED PORK ROAST
Serving a gorgeous, fancy-looking holiday roast doesn't have to be complicated, time-consuming, or expensive. This pork loin proves exactly that. This is fast, easy, and affordable, but when you bring it to the table, it looks like a million dollars. The beautifully warming and aromatic spices really work so well with a pork roast - I hope you give it a try soon!

Steps:
- Butterfly the pork loin by cutting almost all the way through, starting on the thinnest side, keeping your knife flat and parallel to the cutting board. Stop about 1 inch from the opposite edge you started, so that the meat opens up like a book. A few more shallow cuts can be made if the pork is not opening up enough to flatten out, but do not cut all the way through, otherwise you'll end up with two pieces.
- Season the butterflied pork on both sides with kosher salt and let sit out at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes, or 2 to 3 hours in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a roasting pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pat the tenderloin dry with a paper towel.
- Mix cumin, coriander, ginger, black pepper, smoked paprika,cayenne, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and honey together in a bowl with a spoon. Spread about half of the spice mixture inside the butterflied pork, fold it back together, and spread the remaining mixture all over the surface. Use 3 or 4 pieces of kitchen string to tie the loin up every few inches, cutting off extra string.
- Toss potatoes, carrots, chile peppers, and onion with olive oil and salt in a bowl.
- Place the pork into the prepared roasting pan and surround with vegetable mixture.
- Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loin reads at least 140 to 145 degrees F (60 to 63 degrees C), about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn roast over with tongs in pan drippings. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Toss vegetable mixture in pan drippings and return to the oven to crisp up, about 10 minutes.
- Combine yogurt, mint, and garlic in a small bowl for sauce.
- Remove strings on roast. Slice, spoon pan drippings over, and serve with vegetables and yogurt sauce.

NORTH AFRICAN DRY RUB
A spicy dry rub that is great on grilled chicken. Rub onto the chicken ( I use a whole chicken on a spit, or split chickens cooked on indirect heat on the grill) and cook using your favorite method. Can be put on chicken up to 6 hours ahead of cooking time, and refrigerated. Drizzle with some olive oil before grilling, if desired.

Tips:
- Starting with a high-quality spice blend is key. Look for a blend that is specifically designed for African cuisine, as it will likely contain the right balance of flavors.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. If you can't find a pre-made blend that you like, you can always create your own by combining different spices in your pantry.
- When applying the spice rub, be sure to coat the meat evenly. This will ensure that the flavors are distributed throughout the dish.
- Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will give the spices time to penetrate the meat and develop their flavors.
- When cooking the meat, be sure to cook it over medium heat. This will help to prevent the spices from burning.
- Serve the meat with your favorite sides. Some popular options include rice, beans, and vegetables.
Conclusion:
African spice rubs are a great way to add flavor and depth to your dishes. They are easy to use and can be used on a variety of meats, vegetables, and even fruits. Whether you are a novice cook or a seasoned pro, you are sure to find a spice rub that you love. So experiment and have fun!
