Sliced Coppa Roasts with Lamb Ribs

[thirdeye]

Here is a recent cook featuring Coppa roasts, aka Money Muscle end roasts which are on the top of a pork butt. I cooked another pair of these for my Labor Day TD entry, but these are from the BOGO pork butts I recently posted about. I really like sliced pork shoulder and these roasts are perfect for that.

My newest grill has a charcoal basket with a removable water reservoir that buffers heat and provides moisture. This is my only hot water set-up and I'm liking the results so far. These are the Coppa roasts ready to go on.




And the proof is in the pudding so to speak

You are right they look good on a buffet display , beautiful color to them
on your new grill. Never really had Lamb or their ribs before. Maybe when younger but really do not remember it
Those ribs look good. I have/make some mint jelly that people say is good with them

It's domestic lamb which I favor over New Zealand (but like both) and both pieces are in a package called 'lamb breast', which is the spare ribs and I think part of the plate because it contains some similar bones. The pulled meat came from that other piece. There is a lot of surface fat to trim, but the meat is delicious. For round 2 the next day I zapped the sliced ribs under the broiler to give them some sizzle.

I'm not a fan of the mint jelly on smoked lamb, I served these with a raspberry chipotle sauce. For me, smoked or grilled lamb is a whole new dimension to oven roasted lamb.

That sounds real good,
I have made a raspberry blend ( more of a chutney ) for fish, it was refreshing on baked Halibut

I get these from Walmart, but I live in lamb country so other places have rack of lamb or ground lamb.

I season with a splash of AuJus Prep and a coating of Head Country marinade. Then use kind of a spicy rub. I smoke mine about 5 hours at 275° and monitor doneness with a toothpick. Sometimes I wrap for an hour if I want the meat pullable.

I bought this SAUCE at a hardware store in Montana a couple of months ago, and wasn't sure what to expect. I'm not a sauce guy but I really like Blues Hog products. The raspberry sauce might just be my favorite.

I looked up your sauce , it looks good , and the others they sell. Have you tried their other flavors.

Ordering the Raspberry one tomorrow. as I am checking the site for more to add to list

Yes, the Original and Tenn Red are popular on the competition circuit for many years, often mixed 50:50. Original is the sweetest and thickest. I often thin it with some apple juice. Tenn Red is thin with a vinegar twang. I just bought the Competition Blend for a local cookoff this summer and I like it, not as sweet as the Original and a little thinner. The Raspberry is my most recent purchase. Here is the Blues Hog look.

I use the competition blend and we like it a lot. It blends the original and Tennessee red together. Good stuff for sauce.

Been a long time since I've had Lamb. My wife's famly were no fans so not a flavor she grew up on. You got some fine looking meat there...JJ

thirdeye ...one word, OUTSTANDING! I love the color on those Coppas.
As for lamb, I love it. But, the wife is not a fan of it.
People knock on Walmart, but that is where I use to be able to buy CAB Tri-tip for around $7.99 lb. Unfortunately, they haven't had it in along time.

My WalMart is right next door to Sam's Club..... maybe they share some shipments or something because on occasion they have some good choices.

Sam's Club is owned by Walmart, so it makes sense that they would share shipments.
