It is a wet rub, but there is no prepared mustard in it.
Basic ingredients:
9-12 cloves of fresh garlic
2-3 teaspoons fresh rosemary (for dried, I would say 1-1.5 teaspoon should do it.)
about 1 teaspoon each of:
dried oregano
dried thyme
kosher salt
whole black peppercorns
Throw all this in a mini-food processor/chopper, add a splash of olive oil and process. You're looking for a paste like consistancy, so add a bit more olive oil as necessary.
That's kind of the base I use, from there I usually wing it and will add ingredients for whatever mood I'm in. In this case, the one you are seeing had about 2-3 teaspoons of whole cayenne peppers chopped up and added to it, along with maybe 1/2 a teaspoon brown mustard seed and some ground cumin.
I've done some with paprika, tamarind paste, ginger (cut the rosemary and garlic a bit add small amount of sesame oil) and other spices, it just depends on what I'm feeling like.
Dump it on, let it rest a few hours if possible (with all that garlic, it's strong, so overnight max - otherwise it might be too much).
