The method

East Meets East: Sodium Free Rub/Seasoning Blend

Flavor profile: Indian and points east level of difficulty--1.75

Procedure: Grind all dry ingredients. In a separate container, use a fork to mix 1 egg white with 1 oz/30 ml water. Brush or lightly moisten surface of protein with egg white mixture. Note: powdered egg white is a convenient substitution for fresh--simply moisten the surface of the protein and use a shaker/dredge to distribute the powder evenly over the surface. Wait five minutes for the albumins to dissolve. Roll the chilled protein in the rub and set aside on a dry surface. Wait 5 minutes. Drizzle top with a few drops of oil (or spray) before roasting/smoking. After use, store seasoning in a sealed container in a cool dark place.
