Coffee Encrusted Pork Chops
Coffee is used a lot in Colombian cooking as a spice rub. Fresh ground coffee is combined with paprika, chili powder, garlic and onion, giving it a kind of smoky flavor. The coffee isn’t very overpowering, believe it or not. This spice rub is also great on ribs, lamb chops, and steaks.
