Instead of regular old paprika, my pork rub is made with Pimenton de la Vera, a smoked Spanish variety of chile that has earned a Denominacion de Origen, or controlled name status. (In order to be authentic, Pimenton de la Vera must be marked with that phrase, or simply its abbreviation: D.O.) If you want a spicier rub you can also add a little bit of ground chipotle chile powder

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- 2 teaspoons ground canela (Mexican cinnamon)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
Instructions
Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the meat to the bowl and rub it all over with the spice mixture. Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours. (In Iowa I was only able to let the rubbed meat rest a few hours but the flavors still came through!)
