A New Orleans tradition. There are as many gumbo recipes as there are cooks. I adopted this from a version at the New Orleans School of Cooking.

Memphis-Style Dry Rub for Ribs

Created by Chuck,

Description

If you`ve never had ribs with a dry spice rub, you are really missing something. The first time I had ribs in Memphis I was hooked.

Main Ingredient

Cooking Method

Difficulty

Makes

1/3 cup

4 teaspoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Methods/steps

Mix ingredients together, store in airtight container.

Spread evenly on prepared ribs that have been patted dry, with the membrane on back peeled off, and let sit until the rub appears moist. Refrigerate ribs overnight to develop the best flavor, and barbecue.

Additional Tips

This rub adds great taste to your ribs. I usually slow-smoke them in a smoker with no sauce or mopping - they come out delicious, Memphis-style.
