Spicy Pork Shoulder

[Robert T]

This recipe comes from Weber's New Real Grilling, page 154 entitled Slow Cooked Peruvian Pork Shoulder. So I got the ingrediants together and marinated a pork roast for two days.

After the marinade I prepared the grill, roasted the pork as per directions and cooked some potatoes to go with the meal.

The meat was super tender, after cooking on the grill for six hours. But Kim and I were not a big fan of the taste. Something about the cinnamon was just not a good flavor profile for us. We are always open to new flavors and this just wasn't one of our favorites. Still it was not terrible and we were pretty happy with the results. Next time in the marinade we will leave out the cinnamon sticks and keep the rest. Thanks for looking!

Looks great Robert, I agree with the cinnamon don't like that in marinades and also no coffee marinades or rubs ..yuck.

That's a nice cook Robert. And I agree with you, cinnamon is a no-no in bbq. Been there, done that……just wrong.

Too bad it didn't work out for you. Well executed though - looks delicious.

there are winners...
...and there are losers.

Robert & Kim, you are the winners! Pork looks TERRIFIC!
the cinnamon is the loser. Add my name to the "no cinnamon for me" list.

Looks great. As you don't like cinnamon, stay away from any Tandoori (Indian) recipes: cinnamon is a stand-out spice there as well.
