Sunday Dinner..Yummy goodness!!


Well the weekend has come to a close and I decided that I would cook myself something good to eat. I had a craving for pulled BBQ pork. One secret that I want to tell y'all is that I had never made it before. I kept thinking what spice do I put with it and how much water should I cook it with. So for those of you that panic there is always some rules that you should follow... Onions are good with 99% of meat, just cut the onion into big pieces. Second pepper and salt are the number one spice that will always be good. If you have any questions as to what to use, keep it simple and just use s&p ( salt and pepper). So I started off with a big piece of pork shoulder, started the big pot with putting some olive oil ( because it is better for you than veggie oil) in the bottom, put down some garlic in the pan and put some pepper and salt on either side of the pork. Seared both sides to conceal the flavor and moisture. I put it in the oven at 300 degrees for 7 (yes you read correctly) hours. It turned out like the picture below... isn't it beautiful!!!!



I had to stick my fork and taste it..






I tried to get all of the pork out in one piece but it just fell apart as you can see.



After I finished scrapping the rest of the pork from the pot I took the fork and just stared to pull at it. It came apart so easily.



I know. I know. I cheated and used the BBQ sauce from the store. I stood in HEB for 20 minutes trying to decide if I would make it or not or should I buy the sauce. Then I tried to decide which sauce to use. I wish that they had consultants at the store to tell you which to use and how it tastes so you don't get home and go.. Oh crap this taste horrible... But it worked really good.




After you open the bottle you poor it all over the pork. You pour a little at a time and stir so that you don't drown it in BBQ sauce because you still want to taste the pork.



Add a little of the broth from the pot and it is a great combo.



I put a bun with some butter and placed it in the oven for 15 minutes along with the mixed pork and BBQ. This it what the result was... Looks great doesn't it??


Nice dinner to end the weekend!!


I ate so much that I couldn't finish it all. After about 15 minutes I devoured the rest of it.
