I have searched the internet for an easy pork shoulder blade roast recipe but have not found anything I like. One recipe says to use “kitchen bouquet” but I am not familiar with it. Do you know what is in it or how it is usually used? Also any other good pork roast recipes?
I’ve used kitchen bouquet with beef and it was good. I don’t know about with pork.
I use Kitchen Bouquet for Beef.
Try this Pulled Pork, easy and very well received.
CHOPPED PORK SANDWICHES
1 6-7 lb Pork Roast (Boston Butt/Shoulder)
Demon Pig BBQ Rub
2 bottles “Demon Pig BBQ Sauce”
Trim Excess fat from roast. Sprinkle with Demon Pig BBQ Rub.
Cook on grill with indirect heat at 225/250 degrees for 6 hours to an internal temp of 160 degrees. (This can be done in an oven or bbq smoker.)
Place in pan with 1/2 cup water, cover and place back on heat for one hour to finish. Remove from heat, let stand 30 minutes. Careful uncover. Let stand an additional 15 minutes.
Pull and chop meat to just under bite size pieces.
Warm “Demon Pig BBQ Sauce” slightly and mix thoroughly until lightly covered throughout meat. Serve additional sauce warm on the side.
Serve on buns with your favorite sides.
A kitchen bouquet is probably similar to the french cooking method of making a bouquet garni. It is simply either a leek green or a piece of cheese cloth wrapped around some thyme, a few peppercorns and a parsley stem and tied up with string. Its generally added to stocks and sauces.
If you have time marinate the pork in pineapple juice overnight… The flavor of the juice is dead on complementary to the flavor of pork and the enzymes in the juice break down the protean and tenderize the meat wonderfully
put several tablespoons of butter, some parsley, a few cloves of garlic in a chicken bullion cube and some bacon, in blender or food processor till you get a creamy paste.
Hit the roast with some salt and pepper and braze it
Cut slits on both sides of the roast about an inch long and 2 thirds of the way into the meat.
Fill the slits with the butter mixture till the mixture is flush to the top.
Preheat your oven to 350.
Add a cup or 2 of chicken broth or leftover marinade in the bottom of the roasting pan.
Cover the top of the roast with finely minced garlic, salt and pepper, and sage. (I also like to smother it in onions)
Bake covered 2 thirds of the way and uncover to finish.
I owned the Radio Deli in Burlington Vermont and people loved this recipe.
Happy Holidays….
Kitchen Bouquet is a browning sauce that comes pre-made. I think it’s mostly vegetable stock, salt, and brown sugar. I have found a great slow-cooker recipe for pork roast if you have some red wine on hand–have made it several times myself. Here’s the link:
