Day Off in the Kitchen

in food •  7 years ago 

I love cooking, and took advantage of my day off by slow cooking a pork shoulder using an idea I got last night from a friend.

These little guys are the secret...they taste a bit like a cross between oranges and limes. If you ate a Sour Patch kid that was orange flavored, you'd get the idea. I got these from a friend's fruit tree. I threw a dry rub on the pork first and then added a mix of the juice from this fruit, olive oil, and Worcestershire sauce.

The pork shoulder, covered with the dry rub before browning. I mostly followed the Kitchn's browning/Dutch oven/heating plan to get the most tender meat; Emma is one of the best food writers on the internet.

A look at the crust that formed after a few hours in the Dutch oven. Not quite finished! I put it back in for another couple hours.

The final product. Delicious! Even the toddler loves it. Pulled pork is an incredibly affordable food that is easy to make-highly recommended even to amateur cooks!

Gonna try this. What exactly was the ingredients of the dry rub and the name of the fruit?

I have no idea of the fruit name! Use oranges and limes and it should work.

Rub was actually fairly dull. Oregano, thyme, coriander, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic.

Those fruits look like the sons of oranges and kakis/persimons!
Great job, wish I could have a taste of it :D
