Coffee Brine

Ingredients

  • 100g dark soft brown sugar
  • 100g cooking salt
  • 1 orange zested
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 10g fennel seeds
  • 20g white peppercorns
  • 8g fresh thyme
  • 50g used coffee grinds wrapped in muslin cloth (making it easier to deal with the meat afterwards)
  • 600ml water

Method

Place all the ingredients into a pan and bring to the boil, allow to cool.
The brine works well with pork. Brine a shoulder of pork for around 12 hours, rinse well then slow cook until tender. Also try brining a pork chop for 2-3 hours, rinse well before cooking.
