It was a beautiful day today. I told my wife I would cook some BBQ for dinner, she could buy anything. Just not spareribs. It would be a bit of a rush.
She came home with spareribs
.
No complaints from me.
We were in a bit of a hurry. She pulled together the coffe rub posted by @Len Dennis Link and I prepped the kettle.
It looks too red in this light. It had a stunning chocolate brown color.
I wrapped it in butter and butcher paper for the last hour. In the mean time I cooked some vegs on the spirit.
Yes, my kid also got a new nail polish today.
And this is what we served.
And it was... Bland.
First time on the kettle, I did not get a lot of smoke flavor. There wasn't enough salt in the rub. Also, the recipe calls for seasoning the ribs again with the rub in the last 15 mins, which I did not do.
I see the potential. I think this rub lives for and dies with the coffee that you are using. She took what was in our espresso grinder. A mild to medium roast, ground for espresso. I think this rub goes better with darker coffee roasts. And maybe I should experiment with a coarser grind. There was no space left on the meatvfor any more seasoning.

. I guess in my defence, the rub is meant to be "second banana" with the meat being the star.
