Pig roast questions
Posted on 2/18/17 at 6:45 pm

I have been roasting pigs in my Cajun microwave for a few years, so I've done a dozen or more. My daughter's school asked me to do one as part of the fund raiser auction. To define and describe for the auction listing, should I offer just the pig, or do I need to offer sides? Trying to keep it manageable but to offer something that would be interesting for people to bid on.

I'd offer to donate a ??? pound pig cooked in a cajun microwave on site within x-miles of school. Wouldn't worry about sides.

That's kind of what I'm thinking.

Offer coleslaw and buns. Or have a classmate make coleslaw and supply buns. Pulled pork sandwiches

I'm not that good at slaw, but I can buy some rolls. Maybe it's just pig, sauce and rolls

Advertise that you are providing the roast pig as the centerpiece for the winner's BBQ. They can supply the rest of the meal.

I know some of the folks who will be looking at the auction will think I'm doing the whole BBQ.

Man, you could whip up a huge pot of white beans for really cheap. I did my 5 gallon pot full for maybe $30 tops and as a side, I'm sure that served well over 100 people.

You can get big cans of Bruces yams for cheap and alls ya gotta do is warm them up, sweet taters go great with pork that and the white beans some one mentioned

You talking about 5 gallon jambalaya pot? Never did beans in it? Is it easy?

Yeah. You just have to stir every now and then and add liquid if it gets too thick to make sure it doesn't stick and burn.
5 lbs of white beans, boil them for half and hour, strain and wash them good, set aside
5 large opinions, sauté in oil
3 lbs of ham ends cut into small dives, add to pot
Add beans back with a lot of water, boil and reduce to simmer, keep cooking until beans are soft and the sauce is creamy, add more liquid as needed. Probably 2-3 hours.
Season at the end with salt, white pepper, hot sauce, garlic powder. Don't add salt until beans are really soft.
Right before serving, chop a few bunches of green onions and stir in.
