Versatile Low FODMAP Sweet & Spicy Dry Rub

There are so many applications for a Low FODMAP Sweet & Spicy Dry Rub – rub it into fish, poultry or pork – for starters. And there are just as many versions.

Certainly the common denominator is that there is a sweet component – in this case brown sugar – and then savory spices.

Our version combines brown sugar with cumin with both sweet and smoked paprika. The smoked paprika used to be a specialty product – and you might have to order it – but we see it more and more now in well-stocked supermarkets.

The chipotle chile can be used to taste. The more you use, the spicier this Sweet & Spicy Dry Rub will be. You can also use cayenne.

Note that spicy foods can trigger IBS for some people – but that is not a FODMAP issue. The capsaicin in hot peppers can be a gut irritant.

See this in action with salmon below and check out our recipe for Pineapple Salsa, which goes as perfectly with fish as it does with poultry and pork.
