On The Kitchen today, Zakarian gave his favorite rub for poultry and other meats.

I know he said Coriander, Spanish Paprika, Cinnamon, not sure of the rest. He said it would be on the Food Network but I cannot find it.

Here we go

Cayenne - Smoked Paprika - Coriander - Cinnamon - Celery Salt

rub one part of each

Thank you Sally, it sounded so interesting to me.....and his flavor combos are usually great!

I made his white bean dip today using Cannellini Beans and it is a keeper.

Love the guy! (more)

I was intrigued by the drink too

the problem is that I am (actually we are) such wimps for alcohol

if I am going to have a cocktail drink, like the Rob Roy he featured today, that will be it for the evening... no way I could have a glass of wine after. Or before it.

so I see all these drinks, think about how they might taste, but never make them smileys/wink.gif

this one I found particularly enticing because Zakarian placed it as his own top five drinks... that's some endorsement!

BTW tomorrow if all goes according to plan, I will make his prosciutto wrapped chicken breasts for our dinner

Today, I am using his rub on a whole roasted chicken, will roast it on a bed

of onions to catch all those delicious juices from the chicken.

Also, experimenting with a wild rice pilaf done in the slow cooker, which includes Blue Star Oyster mushrooms, grown right here in our county, and toasted pecans finished off with green onion slivers.
I've never tried his cocktails either. but I love the combinations he comes up with.

I also add some quartered new potatoes to the "bed" like they do in the

Parisian rotisseries. DEE -licious.
