Scratchpad
Like many cooks, I have countless recipes that come and go from the dinner table. I jot down just about everything that I make, but most of it never reaches Chic Eats before I squirrel off to the next thing. This assortment of dishes is a bit like life—always in a state of fiddling and flux.
"Scratchpad" is a series where I share brief entries featuring some favorites from my trove of recipe scribbles. While I can't help turning some posts into food novellas à la my Sourdough Focaccia and Sauerkraut, these will be more like recipe cards.
This post is finally a true scratchpad in that it's brief. Where's my cookie?
Rhyme or Reason
I've been thumbing through my recipes and randomly picking some to publish—there's not always a rhyme or reason to what grabs me. In this case, the image caught my eye and the blend is one that I've been using for years. It's pretty good. A coffee and chile dry rub for pulled pork, dark and smoky with just enough sweetness for balance.
I do have a draft recipe for proper oven pulled pork that's making progress. Hopefully that entry will join its partner here in the near future. By "proper," I mean the bark is adequately developed for an oven preparation. I'm no BBQ expert but my novice opinions are strong and plentiful.
