This aromatic fennel seed and salt rub is a versatile cupboard staple that brings a sophisticated, savoury depth to a variety of dishes. By lightly toasting the fennel seeds, you release their natural oils and aniseed notes, which pair beautifully with the sharp heat of black peppercorns and a subtle punch of cayenne pepper. It is an excellent way to add instant character to your cooking without the need for added sugars or complex marinades.
As a brilliant example of a low-sugar seasoning, this homemade rub is particularly effective when used on slow-roasted pork, pan-seared white fish, or even tossed through roasted root vegetables. Prepare a batch in advance to keep in your pantry; it stays fresh for up to a month and makes an effortless gift for any home cook.
