Looking for a great salt-free rib rub

SpammyQ · 05-22-2008, 01:49 PM

I have an elderly aunt (along with 10 others) coming over for Memorial Day who can't have salt and am planning on BBQ'ing up some ribs. Anyone got a great rub recipe that is salt free and works with ribs they'd be willing to share?

Thanks

Jim

Here's one I just found with a Google Search. Haven't tried it.

"Jeff's Salt-Free Boston Butt Rub

3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon garlic powder; (granulated)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon Mrs. Dash, (salt free) Garlic and H
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt; (low sodium)

This rub is similar to one posted by Scott (South Carolina) last May. I made 3-4 changes out of necessity (Mrs. Dash) and preference (brown sugar)."

Here is one I like....

No Salt Rib Rub for Honey Coated Ribs - There is no salt in this rub, no sugar either. All the sweet comes at the end.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground basil
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon red pepper
1 tablespoon mustard powder

Warmed honey

Combine all the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Brush ribs with warm honey about 10 minutes before ribs come off the pit.

For a more tender rib, you can also do a foil finish by painting the ribs with honey and adding a little apple juice to the foil pouch. Return to the cooker (or an oven) for 45 minutes before serving.

Thanks Thirdeye. By Red Pepper do you mean Cayenne? Or the crushed red?

The crushed red peppr. If you only have flakes, just grind some down.
