Pork butt roast


What do y'all do with it? Cut into pieces? Shred?

I've got it slow cooking in the crock pot now.

Cube it and discard the sinew.

Tasso and boneless chops (diced) are easy additions to the pot.

temple meat is only available in cajun country.

Hell I don't know. Never done it.
Traditionally a shoulder(or something similar) is cubed in to small chunks and the sinew is removed. Throw it in to the cast iron with some erl and brown it pretty good. Let it stick to the pot and the scrape it and turn it.

Check Poche's thread. It's spot on for a traditional jamb.

Quick hijack: What's a good beer store in the Buckhead or Athens area? Going to restock the beer fridge.

Oh well. It may not turn out great.

But I am bringing it to a Georgia tailgate, so they won't know the difference. It will be awesome compared to their hot dogs and hamburgers.

All that matters. They won't know what traditional is anyways. I'll keep an eye out for the pulled pork jambalaya though.

Man, I sure hope it turns out good. This area of the country (south Louisiana) is known for excellent food. We, or at least I, take alot of pride in that. I wouldnt want anyone sampling what they think is jambalaya and it really came out of a crockpot...

I smoke a pork shoulder and shred that and put it in there and also put a bunch of the juice run off from the shoulder. It's amazing!

I often smoke my chicken thighs. I like the smoke flavor it adds. Never thought to do a whole butt.

I'm just cooking the butt in the crockpot! Not the jam.

I smoke a whole chicken for my chicken and andouille gumbo. It makes a huge difference. Once I started using smoked meat for gumbo, I never went back.

That's a lot of damn work for Gumbo. I'll get my smoke flavor from my andouille.

Is there another way?

For the record, Trout Bandit makes the best jambalaya I've ever had.
