Braai Seasoning

Name: Braai Seasoning
Total time: 5 min
Cuisine: South African
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons smoked paprika, for a rich smoky base; 1 tablespoon coarse salt; 1 tablespoon brown sugar, so it caramelizes over the coals; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1 teaspoon onion powder; 1 teaspoon ground coriander, the classic braai aroma; ½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked; ½ teaspoon, optional chili flakes

My recipe

In South Africa a barbecue is a braai, and it is a fire, not a gas grill. This is the mix that goes on nearly everything that meets one.

1
Measure all the dry ingredients into a clean small bowl.
2
Stir thoroughly until the spices and sugar are evenly distributed, with no clumps.The sugar is what clumps. Break it up with your fingers if it fights you.
3
Transfer to a clean, dry airtight jar.
4
Rub it generously over steak, chicken, chops or boerewors before they go on the fire.Coriander is the one that makes it read South African. Leave it out and you just have barbecue rub.
