Nice on the non-traditional family recipes! You truly went all out on this challenge!!
Yes I failed at getting pictures of the plating (it got busy) and it was a group effort where I was given the protein and a dessert. So, final pics would have up’d the game for sure! Looks like a blast at your house!!!
I’ll say, the carnitas came out with a great Smokey flavor, much more than a whole butt on the grill. Logically the larger chunks create more bark coverage than just one 10lb butt so I think that’s how it happened. The smoke was pronounced and paired perfectly with the Mexican themed spices. I used cherry wood and very pleased with them. The bed of onions and other things was used to moisten the cook. Some at the party mixed their carnitas in with it and the results were super moist and tender bites!
