... so what's new?

Caramelised garlic and chilli rub for hot wings, burgers, steaks and chops for the BBQ - or oven/grill.

Take a head of garlic, smash all the cloves then chop them into granules. Add a large knob of butter and a dsp of (brown) sugar, or honey, to a pan on medium/low heat, then put the garlic in and fry gently till it 'starts' to brown - do not burn it. Take off the heat.

When that is going on chop as many chillies as you think then add them to the pan and fry for a few more minutes. Add a tsp of salt till the crystals disappear. You might need a drop of water to keep it fluid.

Pour the pan ingredients into a clean jar and cover in just enough oil - olive, sunflower, rapeseed - put on a lid and give a good shake.

Give the jar a good shake before use and let the raw rubbed meat rest, covered, for an hour or so in the fridge before cooking.

Oh I would
But I'd usually just smash the garlic & chilli together, with probably black pepper, oil and other ingredients (or none) according to mood

But your moods could affect the overall flavour.

Mine is devoid of moods and is consistent whatever the weather.

My cooking is never devoid of moods

Sounds ok to me too We're never devoid of moods here, with two women in the house

I like the sound of that WM - will try it

And, for a change, I can actually get all the ingredients
