A Two Way Greek Rub
Greek Rubs - Dry and Wet.
Rubs and marinades are one of my favorite way to adding flavors to almost any thing I prepare, it creates strong depths of flavors and overall taste to what ever your going to prepare.
Dry rubs works better to me if your going to smoke or bake what ever your working on, and wet rubs to me work great on grilling items and poaching items but this just my opinion but you can try whats best for you because that is what cooking is all about taking a recipe or idea and making it your own.
Some come on and share this great Greek rub recipe that you will love just like it is or make changes to make it your own......Enjoy.
