Marvelous flavors to complement lamb.

1 teaspoon salt [orginally 2 teaspoons]
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped

In a small bowl, combine rosemary, lemon peel, salt, pepper, thyme, allspice and garlic. To use, rub herb mixture over surface of lamb; cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours, then grill. Makes about 1/4 cup or enough dry rub for 3 to 4 pounds of lamb.
