THE ULTIMATE CHEAT SHEET ON SEASONING

SPICE VARIETIES

At RUB MY MEAT SEASONINGS we produce a wide variety of
seasonings with fresh ground herbs and spices to elevate the
flavor and aroma of both the seasonings and the foods you prepare.

Coriander
Coriander seeds are the fruit of the coriander plant, and have a sweet, 
spicy flavor. They make up a large proportion of curry powders, and are 
used extensively in Arabic, Indian and African cuisine.

Chili Flakes
With the popularity of spicy foods, we have become very fond of chili – and 
chili flakes are an easy way to add flavor and heat to any dish. We use chili 
mainly in savory cooking, but you can add it to some puddings, such as 
ice cream and chocolate dishes. It’s also good in rubs and marinades, 
and for salsa, curries and Mexican dishes. You can even sprinkle it over 
pizzas for an extra kick.

Fennel Seed
Fennel belongs to the parsley family. The seeds have a slight aniseed 
taste, which is great with fish, figs and bread. Fennel is also a great flavor 
for pickling, and good with apples.

Mustard Seed
Yellow mustard seeds are good for marinades and rubs. Indian cooking 
uses whole brown or black seeds, which are smaller and quite hot.

Cinnamon
Ground cinnamon is strong and flavorsome, often used in Asian cooking, 
such as curries and rice dishes. It’s also used in teas and puddings, and 
can be delicious with vegetables and eggs.

Cumin
Cumin is the most popular spice after pepper. It’s best to buy whole seeds, 
and lightly toast and grind them when you need them. Use cumin sparingly, 
and note that it rarely works with fish, except for in fish dishes where a curry 
is needed.
Celery seeds
Best known for their use in Cajun and French cooking, these light brown 
seeds have a very strong taste, so treat them like concentrated celery. 
They’re the main ingredient in celery salt. Use celery seeds in vegetable 
dishes, pickles, chutneys and bread, or add them to soups, 
casseroles and fish dishes. Also, try them ground over a roast beef sandwich.

Paprika
Paprika is a mild chili powder. It has a rather sweet flavor, often smoked, 
and ranges from mild too hot in taste. Its color enhances the appearance 
of foods.

Caraway
Related to coriander and cumin, caraway seeds are highly aromatic, and 
have a distinctive aniseed flavor. Rye bread or soda bread wouldn’t be the 
same without caraway seeds, and you can use them in a variety of other recipes – 
from potato salads and coleslaw to tomato-based soups and sauces, or a pork roast.

SALAD DRESSING: TURN SIMPLICITY INTO THE EXTRAORDINARY FEATURING MY GARLIC & ONION SEASONING

It was late at night, after a full day of non-stop gorging, I was still in the mood for something good and flavorful. I had found you that one day at the dinner table…you were in a glass bowl, covering salad greens and thinly sliced onions along with wedges of vine-ripened tomatoes. I want you to know that you were the best I’ve ever had. Liquid gold is what I called you as I begged for more. We saw each other from time to time, mainly on Sundays with the family crowded around. We always ate together, and you put a smile on my face. I thought I could resist your intense flavor, yet having you once was not enough, I was hooked line and sinker. You made me feel so good, yet by the time I came to my senses, you were all gone and I was licking my plate, begging for more. Yes, you, salad dressing, it was you that made me appreciate the simpler flavors of life. From the glass container, I poured some onto a spoon, dabbed a bit on my finger, and passed you through my lips. You can use this dressing on any type of vegetable salad. Come up with a new version or use the one your family has come to cherish. For my family, we always used thinly sliced sweet white onion, a mixture of salad greens and thick wedges of vine-ripened tomatoes and fresh basil. Sometimes, we would throw in olives, capers, chunks of sharp cheese, pepperoncini and sometimes anchovies for that extra zing. It was never about the taste or ingredients as much as it was about spending time with each other. Either way, the flavor will please even the toughest critics. taste was unforgettable. Now that I have you, I’ll never let you go. I shop for food, I cook food, I eat food. But mostly, I write about food. I’m simply obsessed with eating. I can’t get enough of it, and when it comes to a family recipe - look out - because I love this dressing. It’s the absolute notion of combining oil and vinegar with something as simple as lettuce and tossing it together with herbs and cheese. My Grandmother Eleanor Muscia (or Nard as we used to call her), knew of the special importance and the joy that her dressing brought to all of us each and every Sunday. As my family and I would all gather around the table, we would always talk about the things that were important in our lives and what it meant to eat together, yet the conversation would always make its way back to how great tasting the dressing was. Just as us eating together was so much a part of our life, Nard’s insalati dressing was undoubtedly unforgettable. It was the glue that kept us together. After all, what would dinner be without a great salad? If there is one recipe I will always hold onto and cherish, this by far is what I will hold dear and near to my heart. Liquid gold, a surge of seduction, a rush of intensity … what’s the secret ingredient to this pleasingly mild and salty vinaigrette? It might have been the cheese or type of olive oil. Honestly, we all knew what was in it that made it taste so good. It was simply love, and the method along with some persuasion to go with it. It’s without a doubt the memories attached with it that makes it so good and irresistible. This dressing is both trendy and ultra hip, offering that classic and somewhat nostalgic flavor that keeps you coming back for more. It’s exactly what every meal needs: that extra boost of depth and flavor, one that punctuates every dish for a most truly and superb experience, giving an enormous complexity to something so simple. It’s simply the sidekick to a well presented dish.

INGREDIENTS:
¼ cup apple cider vinegar (good quality brand) ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil ¼ cup water 2 cups mayonnaise 2 big cloves garlic minced 1 tsp. sugar ½ cup grated cheese Minced fresh oregano to taste 2 Tbsp. mustard or to taste. RUB MY MEAT SEASONINGS GARLIC & ONION SEASONING to taste.
METHOD: Mince garlic and oregano, then combine with all ingredients together in blender except for oil and cheese; blend until smooth. While blender is on low speed, slowly add oil until emulsified. Add grated cheese; pulse blender a few times to incorporate thoroughly. For a thicker dressing add more mayonnaise. For a tangier flavor add a bit more vinegar. If you prefer more garlic, go ahead and add another clove.



WHY WE LOVE SEA SALT (AND YOU SHOULD, TOO!)

SALT

Salt is the main seasoning ingredient we use in all our seasoning blends at RUB MY MEAT SEASONINGS It heightens the flavors of food, whatever you’re cooking. You can even use it in some sweet dishes, such as salted caramel.
Salt isn’t bad for us, as long as we don’t eat too much of it. The danger is the hidden salt in processed foods, like cereals and pre-prepared meals. With these, we often don’t realize the amount of salt we’re consuming so when cooking at home, it’s important to have good salt dispensers, where you can see how much you use.

There is no substitute for the flavor of a good quality sea salt.
Pre-ground pepper or table salt, in our opinion, will never release
the same intensity of flavor. 

SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR TYPES OF SALT ARE:

Coarse salt
made up of large-grained salt crystals, so best used in a grinder
Salt flakes
fine crystals of sea salt
Fleur de sel
the ‘caviar’ of salt, which comes from France to be truly authentic; great
for salads and cooking fresh vegetables
Grey salt
a moist, unrefined sea salt, which has a very earthy flavor;
generally used at the table
Smoked sea salt
great to season soups, salads, pasta dishes and sandwiches.

QUICK TIPS FOR USING SALT

Salt takes away the bitterness from food and adds flavor. Without it,
meat, vegetables and fruit can taste dull or insipid. Salt makes the
flavor in a dish sparkle – but if you can taste it over the other flavors,
there’s too much. Salt is a preservative, used for salting and curing.
It draws out moisture. When cooking meat, this makes a huge difference,
as salt draws out protein moisture, which then evaporates, intensifying
the flavor. In bread, salt controls the fermentation rate of yeast and has
a strengthening effect in the gluten of the dough. If you leave out salt,
you end up with air pockets. 
Adding salt can balance the sweetness in cakes and muffins.
Boiling eggs in salted water makes them easier to peel. Adding
salt to boiling water increases its temperature, which results in
faster cooking
Without Sea Salt our recipes and favorite dishes would be less exciting
and a bit on the bland side. Sea salt is the fundamental flavor component
to a great recipe and works hand in hand with spices and herbs to bring
out the full flavor of whatever you are cooking or baking. So, always source
the highest quality sea salts to ensure optimal flavor and an overall
delicious and healthy eating experience.
