Title: Pork Butt for Lunch (Tomorrow)
Post by: sliding_billy on March 30, 2014, 01:23:15 AM
I mentioned in an earlier thread that I was cooking a butt early for lunch tomorrow.  Pulled it off the pit around 11:30 tonight.  I have it in FTC right now.  Haven't decided if I am going to try to hold it in the cooler or pull/refrigerate it in the morning.

Pulled it from the cooler at around 11:00 (it held all night and was still plenty warn when I pulled it).  Turned out excellent.  A lot of folks bash on the Kroger Moist and Tender butts for the "enhancement."  I never get them, because they are more expensive than their regular ones, but they were (still are)on sale for $.0.99/lb.  I wasn't sure i was going to cook, so buying one of these saved me from having to defrost.  I would have no problem buying the Moist & Tender again given the results of this one.  It was super flavorful and moist.  Lunch was pork, corn on the cob (not pictured) flat bread and tzatziki.

Thanks to you I was inspired to pick up a butt at wallyworld this morning, it's going in the Bradley for a couple of hours of pecan followed by a dip in the SRG till it's ready to FTC.

We have a local Greek restaurant that serves a great tsatziki sauce on their sandwiches, etc.  The lady won't give me the recipe...she thinks it is so good that if I copy it, I'll open a restaurant and take all her business.  (otherwise, she's pretty nice)
Will you share the recipe with us...please?

This one is pretty close to how the wife does it (minus the dill which neither of us like).  She was a little bummed with this batch, because she was in a hurry and didn't let the cucumber and yogurt sit long enough resulting in runny sauce.  It still tasted great, but... I prefer it really thick and so does she.  We do it often, so one less than perfect batch isn't a problem.  We eat it on just about anything.  She loves it with brisket, and I have to admit it is good.  :D  I want to try adding a very little bit of horseradish the next time.  I have been wanting to try that for a while and keep forgetting.
