fingerlickin'
Quintessential Chatty Farker
When I think of stadium food, I think of a Roast Pork sandwich from Tony Luke's stand at Citizens Bank Park. That and some Chickie's and Pete's crab fries complete with that crack like white cheese sauce.
We had people coming over on Sunday to watch the Flyers beat the Devils so I figured I'd make it happen. I did hear one person say something like "I'm never not coming to a party here", which made me smile inside. When I brought out the MOINK balls mid party, people threw their hands up in defeat of awesomeness.
My first time using boneless butts from Costco. It's been noted that them removing the bone is way easier than me doing it. :grin:
In a food processor I added about 25-30 cloves of garlic. The wife was complaining of a crazy garlic smell but you need a lot, trust me. A bunch of flat leaf parsley, fresh oregano, salt, crushed red pepper flakes and some olive oil.
Then I butterflied the pork butts and spread the garlic and herb mixture all over and tied them back up.
From there they went onto the egg running at 225*. It is now 2am because I just can't ever seem to cook during daylight hours, but I wanted to get the meat cooked early so it had time to cool before slicing.
They came off at around 6:30 am. Luckily I was close by the smoker, my daughter wanted to sleep in a tent, but not outside. :tsk: So I spent the night in a tent in my living room. Am I the only one who does that? :crazy:
They didn't take much color since I didn't put any chunks on for smoke. I just wanted to keep it original.
When it was cool I sliced it up. This made quite a bit of pork. I even got some for the freezer out of the deal. :grin:
The slices are then reheated and held in the crock pot until service. I didn't get much juice out of these butts, so I added a packet of Lipton's savory herb and garlic soup mix and water to the crock pot as well. You want it swimming in juice. The flavor of the soup mix made a perfect Au Ju.
I plated it with another Philly favorite, my take on Chickie's and Pete's crab fries. They also make a white cheese dipping sauce that is so good you could drink it. I seasoned my fries with old bay and SM season all.
A good pork sandwich isn't complete without broccoli rabe, I sauteed mine in olive oil with more garlic and crushed red pepper.
Roast pork with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone with a side of crab fries w/cheese and long hot peppers. Many beers met their maker on this day as well. :-D I just forgot to include them in the picture. :tsk: The Flyers won game 1 of the series and it was a good day indeed!
Thanks for looking.
