North Caroline is known for some tasty cuisine! Pepsi Cola and Krispy Kreme donuts have their roots in the state. Blue crabs are in abundance off the coast and sweet potato pie calls North Carolina home. And then there is the barbecue. The Eastern style barbecue cooks the whole hot over wood and serves it with the tangy and delicious Lexington style sauce – a vinegar base that makes your mouth want more!
Well here is an oven barbecued pork butt that makes it easy to put some great barbecue on your own table without a smoker! Add some quick coleslaw and it’s a delicious Southern meal that make you come back for seconds!
Here’s How to Do it:
Start by mixing the spices with the liquid smoke to make a paste.
Rub the paste on all sides of the pork.
Place it in a roasting pan and cover with foil.
Slow roast at 250° for five hours.
While the roast is cooking make the sauce. Just mix up all the ingredients and let it sit at least an hour to meld the flavors. This is a good time to make the coleslaw too.
Turn heat up to 275°, uncover and roast for another hour and a half. Flip the roast and continue to cook for another hour, or until the pork shreds with a fork. I put a little sauce on the top at this point to cook it on.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Serve with coleslaw (below).
The coleslaw is pretty easy – mix all the ingredients except the cabbage and onions in a bowl. Pour the dressing over it and mix it up well. Put in the refrigerator for at least an hour. And that’s it!! Delicious!
