A cross between the African Piri-Piri sauce and jerk sauce, this spice rub will not disappoint! Unlike so many
other commercial spice rubs, this one delivers flavour, in spades, because it is blended with more than just
paprika and cayenne. It is enriched with allspice, oregano and thyme! Infuse meats with flavour by turning
any of the Summer Kitchen Spice Rubs into a wet marinating rub by adding equal amounts of each: spice
rub, wine and oil of choice. For more heat, throw in some fresh scotch bonnets and/or thai chilies.

and a marinade for veal, lamb, fish and chicken. For a tasty treat, create a Béarnaise sauce with
Twisted Tarragon Spice Mix.
Summer Kitchen Bearnaise Sauce w. Twisted Tarragon Spice Mix
- 1/2 lbs (225 g) clarified butter
- 1 large shallots, thinly sliced
- 4 oz (125 ml) white wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp (25 ml) Twisted Tarragon Spice Mix
- 1/2 tsp (2 ml) black peppercorns, crushed
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/2 tbsp (7 ml) fresh tarragon, chopped (optional)
- Salt to taste
- fresh lemon juice to taste
Mix together shallots, vinegar, Twisted Tarragon Spice Mix and peppercorns in a non-aluminum pan.
Reduce by 3/4. Remove from heat and cool slightly. (Optional: Can use vinegar reduction as is or can be
strained for a smooth béarnaise sauce.) In another sauce pan, clarify butter by bringing to a boil until butter
is completely melted. Remove pan from heat and allow foam to subside.
In a food processor, add egg yolks and process for 30 seconds until thick and creamy. Add vinegar reduction
and process for 15 seconds. With the motor running, pour the hot clarified butter in a thin steady stream into
egg yolks. (As clarified butter is blended into yolks, the mixture will become thicker.) Continue until all
clarified butter is incorporated. If too thick, add lemon juice or warm water to thin out. Adjust seasonings.
Add the fresh tarragon if using.
Serve warm on eggs, on steak or as a dip for steamed asparagus.
Makes 3/4 cups

Gone Fishing Seafood Rub celebrates all that’s simple with fish. Following in Yucatan tradition, Gone
Fishing Seafood Rub bursts with colour and flavours of coriander, cumin, garlic, chilies and tumeric.
The aforementioned flavours also lend themselves beautifully to other meats such as pork, beef or chicken.
The fundamental difference when cooking with fish is that with its subtle flavours and texture, it requires
simpler and more unpretentious preparation. Mix equal parts: spice rub, olive oil and citrus juice and/or
wine and marinate fish for no more than 1 hour, any longer may "cook" the fish.

Gone Fishing Seafood Rub is a refreshingly bold flavoured rub ideal for fish and seafood as well as other meats.
Whether using it for fish, chicken or pork, the same simple techniques apply; make a paste by mixing equal
amounts of spice rub, wine and/or citrus juices, and oil. Be more creative; customize every dish by using
different vinegars and oils each time. Why not try any one of a number of fish, such as shrimp, mussels,
grouper, tilapia, perch or swordfish, and make healthy tortillas.

- 1/4 cup (50 ml) cilantro, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp (40 ml) fresh ginger, minced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- 2 tsp (10 ml) Gone Fishing Seafood Rub
- 3 tbsp (40 ml) fresh lime juice
- 1 1/4 lbs (575 kg) Grouper or halibut steaks
In a small bowl combine all ingredients to a make a paste. (Alternatively, use a food processor to make a
smoother paste.) If paste is too thick, thin out with 1-2 tbsp of water.
In a skillet large enough to hold halibut steaks, spread 3-4 tbsp. of marinade on bottom on pan. Transfer
fish to skillet and cover with remaining marinade. (Dish can be made up ahead of time at this point and
refrigerated.) To cook fish, place skillet over medium low heat and cook gently until the exterior of fish is
opaque (5-10 minutes depending on thickness of fish slices).
