West African House Rub pantry blend for the West African table.

West African House Rub is a versatile pantry blend that embodies the heart of West African cooking. Found in kitchens from Lagos to Dakar, this aromatic mixture is a staple for seasoning everything from grilled meats to hearty stews. It reflects a tradition of vibrant flavors and expert seasoning, often prepared in advance and stored for daily use, ensuring that the essence of West African cuisine is always within reach. This rub offers a warm, earthy profile with the depth of ground cumin and the sweet smokiness of paprika. The bright notes of coriander harmonize with the subtle heat of black pepper, all balanced by a touch of fine sea salt. It's a dance of flavors that enhances any dish, embracing the complexity and warmth characteristic of West African food.
