BBQ Dry Rub for Pork Roast (with coffee)
1/3 cup kosher salt

Add all dry ingredients and mix thoroughly and reserve in bowl on side.
For the Pork
1 (4-6 lb) pork shoulder or butt roast
2 carrots (medium)
4 stalks celery
1 fennel bulb
4 cups water
- Generously rub withBBQ Dry Rub to coat the entire roast (I let sit out at room temperature for 2 hours before cooking – this helps the fat melt and render much quicker).
- Rough chop onion, celery, carrot and fennel and place in bottom of roasting pan.
- Place water in bottom of pan, place roast on top of vegetables and wrap tightly with aluminum foil.
- Place in 325-degree oven for 5½to6 hours or until tender.

3 cups sliced red onion
4 cloves garlic
1/2 cup white sugar

1 cup red wine
- Add all ingredients to pot with exception of onions. Bring to a boil to dissolve all dry seasoning.
- In separate bowl, add sliced onion and reserve on side.
- Once liquid comes to a boil, pour over onions and let sit for a minimum of 2 hours (the longer they sit, the better they will get).
