Mediterranean Spice Rub When Americans think of the Mediterranean they think of garlic, onion, basil, and oregano. Street food is grilled in open markets and eaten on the street. My blend was made especially for grilled meats, but it would be delicious sprinkled over Mediterranean type vegetables. Meat rubs are exactly what they sound like. Rub whatever you are seasoning with the blend and cook. Ideally rubs are used to grill or bake. Other ingredients can be added to this rub; olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, white wine, or red wine. I love to serve grilled chicken with this rub with salads, with pasta, in lasagna, with rice, or in soups. My favorite recipe with this rub is simple and amazing. Boil enough noodles for yourself and strain. In sauté pan at 2 T. margarine/butter and melt with 1 tsp. rub. When butter starts to boil add 1 T white wine and sauté for 2 minutes. Take off heat and toss with noodles, toss in 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and devour!!! Parmesan can be substituted with fontina, pecorino, or Romano cheeses.

Basil Pesto Seasoning Basil Pesto Seasoning was originally made at someone’s request and has turned into my most popular seasoning. Basil Pesto Seasoning is made with sweet Italian basil, minced garlic, chopped pine nuts, dehydrated parmesan, lemon granules, black pepper and salt. Probably the most common way of using this blend is to add to olive oil and dip with bread, and of course olive oil covering noodles with my blend sprinkled on the top. My favorite way of using this blend is sprinkling on sliced garden fresh tomatoes (during the winter use vine ripened tomatoes). Customer suggestions include: on oven roasted potatoes, sautéed with Italian sausage or beef, or to cover meatballs.
