Tripp's Pork Shoulder Roast

aka Pork Butt Roast or Boston Butt?  is that right?

Pork shoulder/butt roast, whatever size you want

1/2 cup brown sugar 

1/2 cup paprika

1/4 cup salt

1/4 cup chili powder

1/4 cup dry mustard

1/4 cup garlic powder

1/4 onion powder 

3 tablespoon black pepper

He often throws some baking cocoa in there too, maybe just 1/8 cup or less

Mix all that together, after cutting off the fat rub the whole thing with the rub and put it in the fridge overnight. Cook on 225 for 10 hours, when it comes out let it sit, still covered for about 15 minutes before you mess with it. He said the key is when you put it in the oven to have it completely covered and sealed in tin foil so no air can escape.

Cafe Rio Sweet Pork Salad

Complete Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 large Tortillas (click HERE)
• Shredded cheese, Mexican blend
• Cafe Rio Rice (click HERE)
• Cafe Rio Black Beans (click HERE)
• Cafe Rio Sweet Pork (click HERE)
• Lettuce (NOT iceberg, use leafy green or Romaine)
• Diced tomato, onion, and cilantro (pico de gallo)
• Guacamole (click HERE)
• Sour cream
• Tortilla Strips (click HERE)
• Cotija cheese, crumbled (or you can use Parmesan)
• Cafe Rio Cilantro Ranch (click HERE)
• OR Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette (click HERE)

Instructions

• Here is how we put it all together: First of all, we bought the aluminum deep-dish pans (they had these at the grocery store, you will know when you see them.. they look JUST like the Cafe Rio tins). Lay a tortilla in the bottom of the pan, sprinkle cheese on it, and put in the oven at 375 for about 5 min or until the cheese is melted. Remove from oven, add beans, rice, pork, then lettuce and a little scoop of diced tomato and onions (pico de gallo). Add guacamole (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) and sour cream. Add crushed tortilla chips, a shake of Parmesan cheese, and top with a few cilantro leaves. Serve with the cilantro ranch or vinaigrette dressing and there you have it! (makes about 6 salads)

This is SOOO yummy. I didn't follow it exactly, and it still turned out great. Instead of coke, I used sparkling water and brown sugar. I didn't do the tortillas, tortilla strips (just used chips), the rice, or the vinaigrette. I also just used avocado instead of the guac, and didn't use the cotija or parmesan, or sour cream. I also sauteed some sliced onions and frozen corn, mmmm. Oh, and I used way less tomato juice in the beans.

Pulled Pork

I'm posting this so you don't think that all I think about is chocolate (according the my last 4 posts). Not as easy as Kristin's "Easy Southern BBQ" but since I have yet to find a soy free bbq sauce, I make this one. This is awesome, and Hy wants me to just make the sauce so he can put it on other stuff. Not hard, but when you are boiling it down, make sure to NOT FORGET ABOUT IT. Hyrum did, and it all boiled out, and burned, and the acid in the air permeated our entire house making it difficult to breathe because of the burning in our throats (poor Claire was taking a nap upstairs and started coughing).


Pulled Pork

2 cans plain seltzer

1 ½ c. black cherry juice (Knudsen’s)

1 ½ c. red wine or apple cider vinegar

2 c. palm or brown sugar

1 Tbs. dry mustard

2 tsp. crushed red pepper

2 bay leaves

3 tsp. sea salt

½ tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. chili powder

1 3-4 lb. pork roast

You can cook this in a 300°F oven for 4-5 hours or a crockpot for 8-10 hours on low.

Bring everything but the pork roast to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Place pork in crockpot or heavy Dutch oven and pour half the liquid over the roast. Cook in the oven or in crockpot for above times. Boil remaining liquid on med. heat until thickened (about 45 minutes to an hour). Discard bay leaves. When pork is done, pull apart using two forks. Put the meat in with the syrup sauce, and add about 1 c. of the liquid from the Dutch oven or crockpot. Great with baked beans and/or over rice.

It also freezes well.

Easy Southern BBQ

What you need: 1 pork tenderloin, 1 bottle of bbq sauce, 1 crockpot

What you do: Put pork tenderloin and bbq sauce in crockpot, cook all day, shred and serve.

Seriously, it's that easy.

Ok, here's a little more detail: I buy the two pack of pork tenderloin at cosco. I use one and freeze the other. I use Trader Joe's bbq sauce but you can use any kind (or make your own if you're Tripp). The first time I made it, the pork was not frozen, I put it in with most of the bottle of sauce and cooked on low for 5 hours, shredded it, added the rest of the sauce, and cooked on high for 2-3 more hours. The second time I made it the pork was frozen so I cooked on high for the first 3 hours (with most of the sauce in it) and then low for the next 5-6 hours. I shredded it and added the rest of the sauce about an hour before it was done. Both times tasted exactly the same (and were delicous). I'm pretty sure you can't mess this recipe up so do it however you want.
