I was lucky enough to be the recipient of one of Richard's gifts at the Sunshine Fest. I used it tonight on my chicken thighs and found it very enjoyable - not too strong, but rich almost nutty flavor...maybe I'm nutty...anyway, it was very good! Thanks Richard!

Wonder no more. Hope you like it.

Rub, "Kona Koast Rainbow Rub", W/Worcestershire Sauce, Richard Fl

My friend, Al Katz-- AKA Hungry Man from the BGE Forum, recently returned from some "R" & "R" in Hawaii and brought back some Hawaiian Sea Salt and Kona Coffee beans. Asked me to make a coffee based rub. Did not have enough Kona coffee, (too D@%* expensive), so added a few others to make a decent size batch. Started with the great recipe Molly Shark has been sharing for several years and one found on the internet, made a few modifications.Thanks Al and Molly


INGREDIENTS:
12 Ozs Kona Koffee Beans, Ground fine
4 Ozs. Hawaiian Sea Salt, White, add salt after the other ingredients so as not to over salt the rub
10 Ozs. Turbindo Sugar
6 Ozs. Indian River Rainbow Pepper or regular restaurant grind black pepper
12 Ozs. Char-Broil Pulled Pork Rub, Pork rub of Choice
6 Ozs. Jimmy Joe's Poultry Rub, Mild rub, little salt flavor, Jimmy Joe's Poultry Rub, (AC LEGG"S Old Plantation BBQ Rub #107)




Procedure:
1 Measure each item by weight. If not fine ground, run thru a coffee grinder. Each item by itself. Screen thru a vegetable wire strainer to get larger pieces out- re-grind them. Mix all together.


Yield: 24 Ozs. /1 1/2 Pounds

Recipe Type
Rub/Seasoning/Spice

Cooking Tips
For these 2 rubs you may use your favorite pork or poultry rub. just make sure the salt is last added 'cause some rubs have more salt than others.
