Fresh Herb Rub for Meat and Poultry

Serves

This rub works well for both meat and poultry. (It's our house favorite at the Farm Stand for tenderloin of beef). At our Carmel Valley Farm Stand, we're fortunate to have our own organic  herb garden, which gives us a year-round supply of many fresh herbs. Substitute dried herbs  when fresh aren't available in your area.

Ingredients

1/4 cup coarse (kosher) or sea salt
1/3 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon freshly ground balck pepper
3 tablespoons chopped garlic

Directions

Mix all ingredients together to form a paste. Rub directly on meat or poultry, cover with plastic wrap, and cure overnight in the refrigerator before cooking.
