Last November I
shared with you the recipe for a truly delicious coffee barbecue sauce from one
of my favorite local barbecue joints, Sugarfire Smoke House. The recipe, that
you can find here, contained an
ingredient that, unless you live locally, you did not have, namely their
special rub (available for sale in their restaurants). I had made the suggestion
that, in lieu of the authentic version, you use the seasoning in Emeril's coffee barbecue sauce. Well, I have great news! Thanks to a
recent issue of a wonderful, local foodie magazine called Feast,
the recipe for this special rub is now available, and you can be 100% authentic
and make a sauce that is 100% delicious. Emeril, step aside, this rub beats
yours hand down! No wonder this sauce is so good, with 15 ingredients in the
rub, it just can't help but have lots of flavor. Obviously this recipe makes a
huge amount, so I suggest cutting it way back. When I made it, I used
just 1/4 cup of paprika, kosher salt, garlic powder, etc. It still makes a lot,
but I will be using this stuff on everything.
