Cowboy Coffee Rubbed Pork
- 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons finely ground coffee
- 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne or ancho chile powder
- 1kg pork shoulder
- 2 - 3 tablespoons ketchup
- Tabasco sauce, to taste
- Combine the sugar, salt, coffee, cardamom, garlic, onion and cayenne powder.
- Set 1/2 of the rub aside and rub the other half all over the pork. If its not sufficient, add some more.
- Put in a bag and leave to marinade in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, but no longer than 24.
- After marinating, rinse the shoulder of pork and then place in a baking pan and roast at 130 degrees centigrade, basting every hour with the rendered juices. It should be ready after 4 - 5 hours.
- 20 minutes before the end of cooking, make a paste with 1 teaspoon of the coffee rub, mixed with 2 tablespoons of hot water. Add the ketchup and season with tabasco sauce - use that as a baste over the pork.
- Let finish cooking and then remove from the oven. Let cool and then shred with two forks. Use as tortilla or taco fillings.
