BUTCHERS AXE: Woodlands Garlic Seasoning Rub – 170g

Everything's better with garlic

Woodlands is the everyday garlic seasoning that gets the tastebuds tingling — deep roasted garlic backed by mushroom-umami and a whisper of smoke. It's the shake that walks straight off the barbecue and into your midweek cooking, lifting everything from a steak to a tray of veg. Set those flavours free.

The flavour

Garlic leads, rounded and savoury rather than sharp, then mushroom powder brings a deep umami middle. A wisp of smoke flavour rounds it out, so it finishes savoury and moreish with real depth for something so easy to use.

How to cook with it

• Season steak before a hard sear for a garlicky, savoury crust.
• Toss mushrooms and roast veg in oil and Woodlands before they hit the oven.
• Rub chicken and grill, or stir it through a garlic butter for corn and bread.
• Shake it into mince, mash or scrambled eggs for an instant umami hit.

In the shaker

A savoury tan blend flecked with dried garlic and mushroom. Medium grind, it dissolves into butter and oil beautifully and blooms garlicky under heat.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Every steak deserves a proper hit of garlic before it ever sees the pan. Melt a knob of butter into Woodlands first, then build the plate with Rum and Que Meat Juice Glaze & BBQ Sauce brushed on late and a sharp smear of Tracklements Original Onion Marmalade smuggled onto the side. — Darryl "Second Coat" Rubb
