From the Test Kitchen

Spice rubs, used to coat meats or fish before cooking, are an easy way to achieve incredible flavor. Here, we’re using classic barbecue seasonings like brown sugar, paprika, and garlic powder to coat our pork chops. We’re serving the pork with mustardy potato salad made with bell pepper—yours may be green, purple, or even show streaks of red. Broccoli and tomatoes marinated with vinegar and shallot add refreshing contrast.
