Pulled Pork Recipe

I DID IT!  I've been craving a good Pulled Pork Sandwich (some would call this Kalua Pig Sandwich).  It's a real simple recipe inspired by my friend Merle Gutierrez and internet research.

I started with two pounds of pork butt.  Rub Hawaiian Rock Salt and Hickory Seasoning Liquid Smoke on to the meat.  I stuff the meat into a nice medium sized crock pot - set on high - and let it do its work.  Keep the crock pot on high for about six to seven hours then place heat on low.  Oh, I placed two unpeeled bananas into the pot while cooking.  The purpose of the unpeeled bananas is to try to reduce the saltiness of the pork.  It takes approximately 12 hours for the meat to completely cook and it will sit in salt the whole time - so the unpeeled banana is necessary.

Warning - three to four hours into this slow cook process your kitchen will start to fill with the scrumptious odor of smoked meat.  If you plan on eating any meal while this scent fills your senses - well, expect your meal to fall short of satisfaction because your taste buds will be longing for the tempting flavor of smoked pork.

Once the meat is done - take a fork and gently pull - it shred easy.  Mix with Best Food Mayonnaise and some shredded cabbage and you got an awesome pull pork sandwich.

Still - I think Merle's dish is better - but maybe with practice I may become just as good as my master chef. We'll see.

Note to my friend Maria Villa - did you notice my play on the angles and rules of thirds.... didn't get the rule of third down but still..... I'm playing with the angles.



UPDATE:

Had to scale down a little with the workout.  I walked one mile a day everyday except Tuesday this past week.  But any activity is better than inactivity and I do have my mind set on continuing a running regimen - after I get clearance from my doctor.  The 1 mile a day has helped to curve my eating habit.  Fred says I've been eating less.  Didn't lose weight but I noticed my clothes are starting to fit better - toning up I guess.
