This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 3)

• Hutch**’s Recipe Corner**

• Cajun Pulled Pork

• Ingredients

• 5 lbs Pork Shoulder or Boston Butt

• Cajun Tasso Seasoning (see below)

• 12 oz Coca Cola or Dr Pepper, room temp

• Directions

• Rub pork completely with 1 cup of tasso seasoning. Discard any leftover seasoning that’s touched pork. Allow pork to rest, uncovered 6 - 12 hours in fridge. When ready to cook: Preheat oven to 220F. Pour room temp soda in roasting pan. Place tassoed pork in roasting pan. Cover with aluminum foil. Cook 8 - 12 hours or until “fork tender” - (usually 2 hours per pound and pork easily pulls apart.) Drain and place pork in a bowl and shred with fork.

• Basic Tasso Seasoning – An Easy Cajun Rub

• Ingredients

• 1 part each, by volume

• Kosher Salt

• Coarse Ground Black Pepper

• Cayenne Powder

• Granulated Garlic

• Paprika

• Brown Sugar

• Directions

• Mix well. Store tasso seasoning at room temp in an airtight container. Great as a rub or seasoning on any kind of meat.

• Suggestions

• Sandwiches/Sliders: Place shredded pork in hot dog, hamburger buns or dinner rolls. Store extra shredded pork in a sealed container in fridge.

• Dry Style: Sprinkle with extra tasso seasoning.

• Wet Style: Cover in your favorite BBQ sauce.

• Tailgate Style: Wet or dry, then top with coleslaw and serve with your favorite beverage.

• This recipe also works well with pork or beef ribs. Adjust times accordingly.

• TurboDog or Amber Abita is suggested for the pulled pork
