Sage and Rosemary Herb Rub
http://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/sage-and-rosemary-herb-rub.html?print=true

Rubs are dry mixtures of herbs and spices, sprinkled or pressed onto food to flavor it. They can be applied just before grilling or several hours earlier so the food has more time to absorb the rub’s flavors. To help a rub adhere, lightly coat the food with oil and then apply the rub. Experiment with your own mixtures, adding or subtracting from the recipe suggested here. Dried herbs such as rosemary, oregano or thyme are all good additions. Paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper are also used in most rubs.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients:
2 Tbs. sweet paprika
2 Tbs. ground sage
1 Tbs. dried rosemary
1 Tbs. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
In a small bowl, stir together the paprika, sage, rosemary, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and black pepper. Store leftover rub in a sealed jar in a cool, dark place for up to 4 months. Makes 7 Tbs., or enough for 1 chicken.

Dry Marinades

Dry mixtures of salt, pepper, herbs and spices rubbed over food several hours before grilling are good flavor enhancers. Rub the meat, poultry or fish lightly with oil before coating it with the marinade. If made with fresh herbs, these marinades keep, stored tightly covered in the refrigerator, up to 3 days. If made with dried herbs, they keep, stored airtight in a cupboard, for several weeks.
