I bought two boneless butts at Costco last month intending to use them in a rosemary based Greek pork recipe and also a tomato based pork stew.
My wife has decided she no longer likes either, which have been two of our go to pork dishes for two decades.
I guess familiarity breeds contempt is a real thing.
So, anybody have suggestions on what to do with 6 lbs of butt chunks (around three inches cubed)?
I used two lbs on some pibil, which she also won't eat!
 
The picky wife has no suggestions? Must be aggravating.

Seems like pleasing her is difficult, but my pork chunks (smaller than 3") go to souvlaki when its grilling season. It gets too dark now (I dont like to grill under the floodlights and dont like to eat early in the evening) so I just told my not-picky wife I plan to make carnitas with the pork butt chunks I have in the freezer originally scheduled for souvlaki.

I will cook them in the pressure cooker (few even know that term anymore, everybody is "instapot" these days) then sear them on a griddle before serving. Gonna be tasty!
 
She suggests I stop spending money on meat and then smoking up the house.
Oh yeah, stop spending money on post oak, gourmet briquettes and contraptions in which to burn them.

How about some pork vindaloo? https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/porkapalooza-indian-style.320025/#post-2411381 What is the Greek pork dish you do? I'm always up for Greek flavors. This is another delicious use for cubed pork , Asado de Chile Colorado https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t...lantro-lime-cauliflower-rice-and-more.312974/

Here's a great Greek pork dish.
We use less orange flavoring and sometimes none at all, both ways are very very good.

Burnt ends come to mind.
I think I'm going burnt ends now...
There's some great ways to cook it but I'm concerned about cooking too fast, with the results being tough.
275 with post oak in the stickburner is the plan now.
