Or do I have to cook the big butt whole, then do whatever I want with the meat or bone?

Not wanting to make it difficult on you but using just the bone doesn't sound like starting out as a pork butt.

That would be more like the "I've got a bone to pick!" or "Throw me a Bone!" Throwdown. Sorry about that.

All the same, I'd love to see the soup you'd make with the bone.

Well, I decided to leave some meat on the bone after all....:mrgreen: in fact I broke my big butt down into my favorite muscle groups, the money end and the horn end. Stay tuned... :rolleyes:

Wife requested Pernil a lo panameño for mother's day. However we didn't have an army to feed a pork leg was out and butts were in! Lucky me, an excuse to enter the thowdown.

Picked up a pack of boneless butts at Costco

Into the marinade for a day. Think mojo, as there is lots of garlic and oregano and cumin, then add some onion and celery and most importantly some Culantro

And then the skies opened up and the original plan to cook it on a rotisserie over an open fire was nixed. Ended up cooking it on the gasser rotisserie. No pics as my hands were too full balancing the meat and an umbrella. :tsk:

Wife was very happy with the final result so that's all that matters. Took the leftover marinade and boiled it down to make a sauce. Was missing l'insalata russa y arroz con guandú y coco but we are watching our carbs these days so platted up with some fresh asparagus and cauliflower mash!

Sorry for quoting my own post but can't edit to add cook pics. I'd still like my first post and pic to be judged.

Cooked up the pork and all sides on Friday 5/17 for poker night. Pork, beans, slaw, potato salad, Texas red chili, and two sauces, Lexington style and Chris Lily's red all made from scratch.

Didn't take a lot of pics but here are a few. Beans could stand as a meal on their own! People were clamoring to eat so I didn't get the bowl of the pulled....
