Some pork shoulder. what to do..

[negolien]

Hey All,

I got about half a pork shoulder in the freezer. I used half a bone in for fried rice so it's weird cuts and shapes. Not really lookin to spend 5 hours on the bbq with it so thinking crock pot. Any ideas? Carnitas? Pulled pork? Any ideas would be cool thanks

I've made crock pot pork using the sliced meat layered with (rinsed) sauerkraut and apple slices. The apple and pork really mellow the kraut.

I'd grind it and make sausage, but I'm curious to see what other recipes are suggested.

Brown it first, then crock pot with salt, pepper, cumin for some carnitas pulled pork. I pull shred it, toss in some fat and brown up just a bit with garlic salt, cumin, bit of chili. On corn or small flour tortilla.
Of all Mexican dishes, I like pan fried pulled pork, i.e. carnitas, the best! Breakfast tacos, tacos, meat on a plate, with bbq on a bun... so many uses!

This sounds good too.

I have these often because I carve the copa muscle out for various things. I just freeze what’s left then pull when needed and either grind or go into the pressure cooker for simple pulled pork. This can be used in many different directions. It’s fast and delicious.

no grinder so that's out nice idea though. I thought about getting one but i already got so much cooking crap i gotta put half under my bed lol

Crock pot it then shred and make a PP shepherds pie. Instead of using creamed corn use niblets and a garlic cheddar sauce.

I made chilerelleno pozole rojo the other day and it was fantastic!

 

[uncle eddie]

Carnitas is always a great option!
I also cube up weird cuts and shrink wrap/freeze them to use for sausage at a later date.
But carnitas sounds good right now...I would go with that, and warm tortillas, fancy refried beans, need some pico to...

Winter is coming.

Toss it on the charcoal grill with a chunk of wood. Temp isn't important. Leave it there for an hour or so. Then cube it up and make Chili Verde on the stove or in a crockpot. Why? Because...

I do have everything I need for chili too and have been thinking of doing it. I used sirloin and ground beef last time pork and ground beef might be a good idea.

Well I jumped in here, albeit a bit late, to make a couple of suggestions but it looks like everybody has you covered. Let us know what you decide. Of all the things mentioned here, I'd say that carnitas are a fan favorite.

What we're you gonna suggest and I may do both since I got about 3 lbs

Just to be different I'd season it and put it an oven for roast pork.

How about a Mcrib

McRib (Boykjo's version)

Thought I would post this up. I stumbled on this recipe one day while I was doing a chuck roast in the crock pot. When i do a chuck in the pot I add 1 can Campbell's beef broth and 1 can Campbell's french onion soup or 1 pkg of powdered onion soup mixed with 1 cup water and let her go then add...
