What did everyone cook today?
-
I bought a few pork butts to make some brats and breakfast sausage. Life got in the way and they were approaching the sell by date, so in the smoker they went. I ended up with nearly 8 lbs of pulled meat that is awesome on its own. I just threw together SPG and some brown sugar as the rub and sprayed occasionally with apple juice. The fat cap in the pics were not splits from the heat, but they tore when I moved them for a final spritz of apple juice. What was a last minute smoke ended up some of the best pulled pork I’ve ever done. I gifted about half and will vac packed and freeze the rest.

GWG8541 look so good

Crockpotted some chicken breasts yesterday morning for last nights supper. Pulled the chicken and mixed up a verde & blackbean pulled-chicken filling. Honeydew from the garden!

@matt-westerhaus looks great.

GWG8541 Mouth watering over the pulled pork. I need to smoke some next week.
Just wondering, do you fine that spritzing helps with moisture or flavor. I never compared with or without.
Love to see people that enjoy gifting to friends. I find that blessing others is a great joy to me. I think that everyone should be given at least one blessing a day!.
Chef I think the spritzing may help some with the moisture when the sugars start glazing, but mostly its the flavor. I used a few cups of apple juice, a tbsp of apple cider vinegar and a few dashes of Worcestershire.

My son wanted me to try a Vietnamese sandwich called a Banh-mi. I had some boneless skinless chicken breast that needed to be used and he said it will work. This was my first time making and eating the sandwich. Apparently it is traditionally made with pork, but any protein works. We marinaded it for 50 minutes with a homemade mix of hoisin sauce, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, garlic and Chinese 5 spice.
We cooked the chicken on the outdoor griddle. The sandwich was done on a French sub roll topped with homemade pickled Diakon radish and carrot, slice cucumbers and cilantro. Its a great sandwich to use some of the great things coming in from the garden. There are a lot of flavors and textures and they were delicious together.

one thing to Rember is that there are different blends of 5 spice powder depending on the area of origin

GWG8541 looks great. I used to grab these from an Asian grocery store where I used to live. Tasty and somewhat refreshing in a weird way. Probably the pickled radish and fresh cilantro.

Surg i agree, it was a nice refreshing taste for a sandwich. It normally has some type of hot pepper on it also. Ileft the pepper off, but my son sliced a hot banana pepper from the garden for his.

GWG8541 lots of Vietnamese shops here in Houston, we call it banh mi.
Looks like you did it right!

So its one of the few days in the year I do not cook, or at least do very little cooking. I woke up this morning to breakfast being cooked by my lovely wife. She made my favorite breakfast sandwich from one of my favorite cured meats… Homemade biscuits, country ham and a fresh sliced tomato. It must be the hillbilly DNA in me, but I love this simple creation.
