Questions on the Coke shoulder recipie and also on the bacon weaving.
a) Will diet coke work? I don't need the sugar in the regular coke.
b) Are you only cooking the upper third of the front leg area, i.e. the shoulder roasts? Or are you also cooking the lower two sections including the bottom shank portions? Shank portions are just too stringy for me to want to eat.
c) If you are cooking more than the upper third of the front leg, how do you manage to get it folded up into such a small package to be able to bacon wrap it?
d) Are you holding the bacon in place with toothpicks or something?
Answers:
A. I think it should. I think it has more to do with the carbonation in the coke than anything.
B.We cooked the whole thing, from where you normally cut the front legs off and up. It is very tender after slow cooking overnight. I watched my mom take a pair of tongs and reach into the pan and pull the shoulder blade and leg bone out of the pan. The meat did not even have to fall off the bone, it was already detached during the cooking process.
C. We don't really wrap it in bacon, just lay the bacon on top of it in the pan, covering the top. This is sufficient to keep it from drying out.
D. No
The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. Genesis 9:2-3 |
