Substitute for SAVORY?

[Debralynn]

Hi folks, I am making a dry rub for a beer butt chicken, I am out of savory.....what would you substitute for this spice?? I went to two local grocery stores today and neither one of them had savory! Thanks for your help. Debralynn

savory Notes: This herb has a strong, peppery flavor, and it's often used in Mediterranean countries to flavor beans, mushrooms, vegetables, and meats. There are two varieties: winter savory and the milder summer savory. Winter savory is best suited to slowly cooked dishes like stews. Substitutes: thyme (stronger flavor) OR thyme + dash of sage or mint

Thanks so much, I have thyme and sage and will give that a try. Debralynn

Italian Seasoning might work. It has savory, thyme and sage in it. It also contains marjoram, rosemary, oregano and basil which might make it too overpowering for your dish. Just a thought...
