adopt an olive tree & receive fresh italian extra virgin olive oil straight from the grove
Short ribs slow cooked in a spicy coffee rub
This recipe is all about taking things slowly. Allow the meat to marinate slowly in its sweet and spicy coffee-charged rub, the longer the better. Slowly roast it in the oven until it is soft and succulent, again the slower the better, just lower the temperature. The only thing that probably won’t be done slowly is scoffing it down – but maybe your will power is stronger than ours. Thanks to Alicia in Texas for this spicy little recipe.
