"I feel a recipe is only a theme, which an intelligent cook can play each time with a variation." -Madame Benoit, Cookbook Author

The refrigerator light goes on...

Recipes like this one lend themselves well to experimentation when you may not have as much experience. Changing one of the spices at a time will give you a good idea how different flavors can interact. Try using freshly ground black pepper, ground allspice or ground cloves. Using dried herbs like thyme or oregano can create a whole new rub.
