I always have “My Essence” ready to go anytime I need it. This is a combination of my favorite ingredients. You can make your own “Essence”. Just take a combination of your favorite ingredients, mix them all together and save it for when you need it. Now you have it ready when you want to get a meal on the table fast! Instant “dry rub”! Here is my formula:
Ingredients for “My Essence”
5 tbsp garlic powder
8 tbsp onion powder
4 tbsp paprika
4 tbsp oregano
4 tbsp thyme
2 tsp Kosher salt (you can add more if you taste it and think it may need it)
2 tsp pepper
Put all the ingredients in a ziploc bag. Shake it and mix it well. You can even keep it in the ziplock bag, though I find that pouring it from the bag is difficult.
Transfer the ingredients to a sugar shaker. You can keep any extra in the ziploc bag for storage.
Use it on any meat or poultry you are preparing. If you don’t have time to marinade, then just shake this onto whatever you are cooking. It always tastes great!
It acts as a dry rub and is delicious every time. Use any ingredient that you like. Just sprinkle on and it is ready!
What’s your “Essence”?
I would love to know!
When cooking, just remember to “Set your timer“!
It’s that simple!
