Roast Pork (Butt)


This was a boneless pork butt. 

Pork Roast

Preheat oven to 425* Season roast generously with salt and pepper to give it a great crust. Place in roasting pan with a rack and grease pan and rack heavily. Roast for 1 hour on 425* then lower the temperature to 375* and bake it an additional hour to hour and a half. Slice and serve. It has great crispy, salty edges and tender, moist, meaty inside - yum!

See entry for gravy to serve with rice or mashed potatoes and gravy. 

Leftover Pork (Carnitas) Tacos

Corn tortillas
Pork roast, chunked
Purple onion, finely diced
Cilantro, chopped
Limes

Sear tortillas individually in olive oil until lightly browned and bubbly. Add pork chunks, chopped raw onion, fresh cilantro and top with freshly squeezed lime juice.  

This fresh, authentic, Mexican treat brings me back to my fist days in Fort Worth. I used to get these little bundles of joy at my favorite little taco truck outside of a Carnival Grocery on 8th Avenue.
