Ingredients
- 5-8 lb. Pork Boston Butt or Picnic Shoulder
- I cracked up when “Big Guy” started talking about the seasoned oil.* They make their own and this is the method they described:
- Seasoned Oil
- 7 smashed garlic cloves
- some fresh rosemary and thyme
- 3 “pizza seasoning” packets
- extra virgin olive oil
