Can This Pork Roast Be Saved?

Posted on April 26, 2008 by Aunt B.

Clearly, though, the most pressing matter in Nashville this morning is whether I can salvage this pork roast. 

Here’s what I’m trying:

The end of two ketchup bottles floating around in the fridge

Generous dash of Worchestershire Sauce

Big squirt of yellow mustard

End of a jar of bbq rub

Cumin

Onion

Chili powder

Heap of brown sugar

Water

Pork

Sauce pan

Bringing it slowly up to hot.

We’ll see how it goes.  The BBQ sauce ended up unlike any other BBQ sauce I’ve ever tasted.  The Worchstershire sauce and the yellow mustard and the vinager from the ketchup is a little too strong for my tastes, but I’m hoping that bringing it up slowly to hot will mellow those flavors and let the other flavors come forward.  Right now, it’s almost like a Sweet and Sour sauce with a Texas kick.

Updated to Add:  Oh sweet and tender Jesus, I have fixed the pork.  It’s so delicious.  Yes, I burnt my boob in the process (don’t ask), but it is so good.  So, so good.  I should have written that recipe down exactly and sold it.

    A little garlic couldn’t hurt. If you like garlic.

    Sweet and tender Jesus? Just who/what are you eating?

    Wait, we weren’t supposed to take those calls for cannibalism seriously? “Take, eat, this is my body…”

    Oops.

    Once you’ve burned a boob it pretty much has to be good.

    A burned boob?
    But if the roast is groovy and good, then it’s all good.

    I have not yet burned a boob while cooking. Ironing yes, but I don’t admit that often. Glad it was salvaged

    I got to have go with The Missus on this one. When all else fails, add more garlic.

    Or if more subtle, try leek.

    I can picture your face when you burnt your boob.

    “Aw, shit!”

    xDDD

    Is my cussing that predicable? Yes, it’s true. The hot pork hit my boob and I did say “Shit!”

    What Missus and Lee said. Also, I added braised scallions to some mashed potatoes last night, and I can recommend that as well.

    Oh, is that what happened? I was visualizing you trying to add another ingredient to the mix….

    I was live-blogging it. That’s what was happening as I typed. How’s that for action news?

    Your dedication to getting the truth out there is an inspiration to us all.
