What's for Dinner?

Oink, Oink!
Yes, I made pork for dinner last night and it was deliciousness on a bun.  Pork Shoulder, a.k.a. Pork Butt, a.k.a. Boston Pork.  Whatever you call this cut of meat, this is what you get:
Surprise...THIS is the location of Pork Butt






and it is divine when cooked for 2.5 hours on low in the oven.
If you are so inclined, this is an awesome weekend meal.
Here are some highlights from the cooking process --
P8140257
Pork shoulder marinated for 24 hours in paprika and cayenne papper.  Cook with a bit of water and near the end of the cooking process add some white wine vinegar.  It literally just shreds apart.
P8140261
Fennel and Arugula dressed in olive oil, lemon, and salt/pepper.
P8140262
Toast that bun up.  I added mozzarella that was near its expiration date.  Not needed, but I hate wasting food.
P8140265
The money shot.
