You can take your coffee after your meal, or, like photographer and cook stinkkatze, take your coffee and put it in a
marinade. Based on a
recipe from
Good Eats host Alton Brown -- who uses good strong coffee, cider vinegar, molasses and mustard to tenderize and flavor pork -- our blogger uses chicory, which is naturally non-caffeinated. The marinade is later cooked down as a glaze for the meat. Here it's served with sweet potatoes and onions.
A terrific source for all things porcine (as well as for another killer coffee-molasses marinade) is the
Complete Book of Pork: A Guide to Buying, Storing, and Cooking the World's Favorite Meat, by Bruce Aidells.
