Pro-Flame Mediterranean Magic – All-Purpose BBQ Seasoning

This blend sits right in that sweet spot between bold and balanced — perfect for everyday BBQ cooking.

• Savoury backbone
  Paprika, garlic and onion create a rich, rounded base that holds up well over charcoal and flame.
• Mild warmth
  Red pepper flakes add a gentle kick without overpowering — family-friendly and versatile.
• Herbaceous lift
  Marjoram and coriander bring a soft herbal note that pairs especially well with lamb and chicken.
• Citrus brightness
  Lemon myrtle cuts through the richness of meats, keeping flavours fresh and clean.
• Warm spice finish
  Cumin, nutmeg and celery seed add depth and a subtle earthy complexity.

This is a proper all-rounder, but it really shines on these cuts:

• Lamb shoulder or leg
  The citrus and herbs balance the richness of lamb, especially on rotisserie or low & slow cooks.
• Chicken thighs and whole chook
  Fatty cuts soak up the flavour — great for spit roasting or charcoal grilling.
• Pork shoulder and pork neck
  Works brilliantly for pulled pork or sliced pork off the spit.
• Lamb chops
  Quick, hot grilling brings out the spice and herb combo perfectly.
• Roast potatoes
  Toss in oil and seasoning — you’ll get crispy, golden edges with loads of flavour.
• Skewers and kebabs
  Ideal for bite-sized cooking — fast, flavour-packed and perfect for entertaining.

• All-purpose versatility
  You can use it across multiple proteins and sides, meaning less clutter in your rub collection.
• Balanced flavour profile
  Not too salty, not too spicy — it works for both beginners and experienced pitmasters.
• Performs over charcoal
  The spice mix holds up well to flame without turning bitter.
• Mild heat level
  Great for families or customers who don’t want overpowering chilli heat.
• No fillers or additives
  Clean ingredient list means you’re tasting the spice — not preservatives.
• Works on multiple cooking styles
  From rotisserie to oven roasting, it adapts easily.

For meats:

1. Lightly oil your meat
   Use olive oil or a neutral oil to help the rub stick.
2. Apply generously
   Use around:

• 1–2 tablespoons per kg for chicken
• 2–3 tablespoons per kg for lamb or pork

3. Let it sit (optional but recommended)
   Rest for 30 minutes to 4 hours in the fridge for deeper flavour.
4. Cook as desired
   Works across grilling, roasting or low & slow.

Pro tip:

For rotisserie or souvla-style cooking, apply a heavier coat and baste lightly during cooking.

🔥 Charcoal grilling (chops, skewers)

• Temp: 220–260°C
• Time: 8–15 minutes depending on cut
• Tip: Turn frequently to avoid burning spices

🔥 Rotisserie / spit (whole meats)

• Temp: 180–200°C
• Time:
  • Whole chicken: 60–90 mins
  • Lamb shoulder: 2.5–4 hours
• Tip: Baste occasionally to keep the surface from drying out

🔥 Low & slow (pork shoulder)

• Temp: 110–130°C
• Time: 6–10 hours depending on size
• Wrap at ~75°C internal if needed to retain moisture

🔥 Oven roasting

• Temp: 180–200°C
• Great for potatoes, chicken and smaller roasts

⚠️ Watch the sugars in paprika — avoid direct high flame for long periods to prevent burning.

• Apple wood
  Mild sweetness complements the citrus and herbs without overpowering.
• Olive wood
  Perfect match for Mediterranean-style flavours — clean and aromatic smoke.
• Cherry wood
  Adds colour and a slight sweetness that balances the savoury spices.
• Hickory (light use)
  Use sparingly for pork — adds depth without masking the seasoning.
