1/4 cup loosely packed thyme leaves

6 fresh or 12 dried bay leaves, crushed

Peel of 1 lemon, removed in strips and finely minced

2 tsp fennel pollen

1/2 tsp red chile flakes

1 whole nutmeg, finely grated on a microplane

With the blender running, stream in to make a paste:

1/2 cup EVOO

Scrape the paste into a small bowl and set aside.

Pairing

This rub works especially well on pork shoulder or lamb.
