Everybody needs a few good recipes for a crowd. It's a delicious recipe, yet it takes less than a half-hour of work to put it all together -- the perfect menu for company.
Pork shoulder, also known as pork butt, is a relatively fatty and inexpensive cut of meat that is excellent for slow cooking and braises. Even organic or well-raised pork is cheap when you buy this particular cut, and you really can't mess it up.
You can find versions of this recipe all over the Internet; I was introduced to it by a friend, and I made a few slight modifications. It feeds a lot, obviously, but it's still a good recipe for a smaller dinner. Just cut it in half, or freeze some of the pork in individual portions for later meals. It refrigerates and freezes very well.
