    This is fabulous rubbed on Ribs. I let them sit in the fridge for a couple hours before cooking and I think it gave the ribs an extra zip as the exotic flavors mingled. Will definitely make more of this, keep some in the pantry (Made for Bevy Tag 08)

    Great combination! Smells wonderful. I used it in Engrossed's Chickpea and Tomato Soup (Shawrbat An-Nikhi), which you gotta try! This would be a great rub for ribs before grilling!

    this smells like persia. i made it up tonight, and cant wait to actually cook with it. I agree with annacia, red meat is ideal as is lamb. Will update when i use it in cooking

    This was very good. We used it on pork. I think that next time I will use a little less cumin. This tasted very exotic. Both dh & I liked it and will use it again. Thank you very much for sharing!
