Why This Smoked Pork Shoulder Is Worth The Wait
I got a new smoker a few weeks ago and I’ve made a couple of things in it. I haven’t really had much time to play with it. First, I tried making chicken tikka bites in it. While they got nice and smoky-tasting, I committed the newbie mistake of putting it into a foil pan. So I had chicken that was cooked–but it sat in a lot of liquid. No bueño. Next, I used it for chicken tikka masala. When I had a few pounds of pork leftover from making Carne adovada, I figured I’d try to create a Mexican-style rub and try smoking again. I don’t think it would have mattered what rub I used. It’s really just the smoking that adds all the flavor. But if you don’t have a smoker, and you did this in the oven with the pork wrapped in foil, the rub would make a difference. So I’m going to share the rub mix below so you can try it. Either way, it is full of amazing flavor. Leaving the fat cap on the pork allowed it to self-baste and protect the pork from drying out.
