Pulled Pork With a Coffee Rub -- Crockpot Recipe - Food.com image

The crockpot makes easy work of pulled pork. This one features a coffee rub. Coffee, you say? The coffee adds a boost to the meaty flavor. After shredding the pork, it can be used in multiple ways. Serve in pork tacos, press a Cuban sandwich, add your favorite BBQ sauce, or even roll taquitoes. Note: Country pork ribs are thick meaty cuts with a bone, but are not spareribs. A pork butt would be a good substitute, but I find the country ribs make a smaller batch. ***I added no salt to the rub as the sauces

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon fine ground coffee
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
salt (1/2 teaspoon optional)
1 1/2-2 lbs country-style pork ribs, trimmed of fat
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Make rub and apply liberally to both sides of the country ribs.
  • Place the onion slices in the bottom of the crockpot. Add the teaspoon of vinegar. Place seasoned country ribs on top. Add bay leaf.
  • Cover and cook on high 3 hours. Check for tenderness. Continue cooking if need.
  • Remove meat and onions. Shred the meat with two forks.
  • Serve on buns for sandwiches by stirring in your favorite BBQ sauce, or use as is to make a pressed Cuban sandwich. The meat is also good to roll for taquitoes or makes tacos.
