Toasted Caraway-Salt Rub

This aromatic toasted caraway and salt rub is a versatile addition to any spice cupboard, offering a deeply savoury profile with a subtle hint of warmth. By gently toasting the whole seeds before grinding, you release the essential oils, creating a more complex flavour than shop-bought alternatives. The combination of earthy caraway, pungent black pepper, and vibrant Hungarian paprika makes it an exceptional seasoning for Sunday roasts or grilled pork chops.

As a low-sugar condiment, this homemade rub is an excellent way to add intense character to your cooking without relying on sweeteners. It works beautifully when massaged into pork crackling or sprinkled over roasted root vegetables like carrots and parsnips. Prepare a batch in advance to keep on hand for a quick and healthy way to elevate your everyday mid-week meals.
