While not proper BBQ, we learned of this recipe the other night and gave it a try. BBQ or not, it's good. It's from Food Network's The Kitchen.
Crock Pot Peanut Butter BBQ
2-3lb pork butt
Cumin (don't recall exact amount, but you need 1 tablespoon for the marinade, so call it 2 total)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
14oz jar of salsa
Rub yo' butt with half the cumin*, salt, and pepper. Wrap in saran wrap and stick in fridge overnight.
Next morning, put the pork butt in the crock pot
mix remaining cumin, peanut butter, and salsa until smooth, then pour over pork in crock pot
Cook on low for 8hrs
Once done, remove and shred meat (we used a kitchen-aid mixer because we're lazy).
Stir up remaining liquid to emulsify fat. Mix some with shredded meat to taste.
Serve in any manner you'd typically serve BBQ. BTW, this stuff's great the next day, even cold.
*We subbed Larue Dillo Dust for the cumin used as the dry rub, but still put cumin in the marinade. Why? Because it was there.
The original recipe called for a 4-5lb butt and twice the measurements for the other ingredients. It's not rocket science, adjust up or down depending on the size of yo' butt.
