Delicious! And would give any BBQ pit master a run for their money!! Everything about this recipe is amazing!! Didn’t change a thing and WOW! Best shredded pork ever! Served as is with mashed potatoes and green beans. I totally agree that this would make for amazing tacos, burritos, or BBQ pulled pork! Thanks Allrecipes Team!!
Oh, I just love slow food! This recipe contains a rich seasoning blend that is rubbed all over. Be sure to use a food-grade glove, and really work it in. It’s just the right amount of seasoning for the weight, and It creates a nice dark, bark to the roast that will have your family competing for the ends! Don’t be afraid of a fat cap. For the long roasting time, the fat will render and run down into the meat, making it tender and juicy. The roast may be simply sliced and served as a main, or it may be shredded, ready for a saucy sandwich of your choosing. Lots of versatility, for lefties, if you have any, lol!
