Pulled Pork Good Budget Extender

you can cube it for stir-fry , slow cook it for a regular roast , brine and smoke it will be a ham, grind and make sausage , brats and ring bologna , can even use for pork steaks if you like , remember there is a bone in there you need to work around

Don’t forget about hash and tamales. Cooked pulled pork can be added to a frying pan of onions and potatoes (bell pepper if you wish) for a really nice pork hash.

Tamales are an “all-day” kind of activity, or at least not what we would do for a simple evening meal. We usually boil our pork (along with boiled chicken) to make our tamales, but cooked frozen pulled pork would work just fine as a substitute, especially if it’s not highly seasoned originally.

That looks so good I almost licked the screen!

I've got a bunch of pulled pork and also cubed ham canned in quarts. I can extend it twelve ways to Sunday and it IS very cheap!

Excellent looking pork. The webber works well, made some jerky on mine yesterday.

I just got home from work and haven't eaten yet.......and what meets my eyes....smoked pork..... Except I don't have any Lurnin2farm that looks so good!!!!

We make kalua pig from big chunks of pork or the whole pig if if it's for a lot of people. The best way is with an underground oven called an "imu" but if you don't have one of those, a regular oven will do. Traditionally, there's the pig, the imu, chunked up banana tree stalks and some banana leaves (to make steam in the imu), taro leaves, ti leaves, some butterfish chunks (those last three items are for the laulau, because if you're heating up an imu, you want to fill it with a lot of stuff and laulau are tasty) and usually at least one keg of beer. There's usually a whole group of people and it's more of an event than a meal. Live music and hula is usually present, too, but I don't know if that's a requirement or not.

For a regular oven, put the pork in a roasting pan, add some water or broth, sprinkle with salt - preferably sea salt or Hawaiian salt - then a bit of liquid smoke. Roast until the meat can be pulled off the bones and then pull apart, that's about it.

Any kind of pork is a great budget extender since most of it we get is from feral pigs.

That Jerky looks good Wayne. Your webber looks very clean too. Guess I should clean mine once in awhile ..

Last night I fed 8. 6 adults 2 children and used maybe a little more than 1/2 of one of these and noone was hungry. It was delicious too. I'm glad you all enjoyed the photos.

I had no idea you could can this either.. I have enough left over that I could fill a few quarts .

Love making carnitas with it. I start mine in the crockpot and crisp it up in the oven.

Funny you should mention the green chili. We love anything with NM green in it. Unfortuately I'm stuck buying it canned or as sauce, no fresh or even frozen Bueno here. A pork favorite with green is pork in green chile sauce (Las Palmas is my favorite). I crockpot the pork until falling apart and then simmer in green chile sauce. Scooped over brown rice...yum. Had it last night for dinner. Have quite a bit more in the fridge.

Ha...this thread caused me to drive 40 miles to get a pork butt.

So you will send some home after dinner??????????

I used to slice rounds off a pork round roast and make cuban sandwicheds for DS, either with adobo seasoning or mojo sauce, melt some latina white cheese, add lettuce and pickles on cuban bread. Also would chunk it with tomatoes and peppers in a thick stew to top black beans. But my absolute favorite recipe for pork is for stir fry- So many differentoriental seasonings- hoison, sweet n sour, pad thai, coconut milk n curry, black beans, oyster sauce, plum sauce...

...not to mention just a little splash of Soy Sauce......

That will make your tounge slap your brains out.

Hmmmmm.....the aroma when I woke up this morning was something else. Last night I rubbed pork rub into the meat, put it in the crockpot and added a sack of green onions to the top. I will soon shred the thing apart and freeze it in portions.
