Spicy Crock Pot Pull Pork

Updated photograph of the recipe. 

My husband has been nagging me about making him pulled pork for a while so I decided to finally make it. I decided to take advantage of the fact that it was the holiday. I invited my family over to celebrate New Year's Eve at our house and made this awesome recipe. After waking up at 5:00 am and groggily starting the whole process I realized that I hadn't taken pictures of the process. So I will be posting the recipe, but I'll have to make it again so I can post the photographs of the process. As you can imagine my hubby was "so sad" when he found out he was gonna have to eat pulled pork again... lol. On the photo above I'd made a double recipe for my family. The leftover pork was used to make some amazing sloppy joe's the next day (with a little cheese and bbq sauce!) I promise I will be uploading the photos pretty soon!

This is the original picture of the post. Double recipe.

 Update: I added pictures of the procedure. When I first made the post, it was for a family reunion, so I doubled the recipe. In the procedure photographs you'll see only one pork, except in the last one. That quantity of pulled pork is of two porks. Enjoy!

Hollandaise Sauce

I always thought that the hollandaise sauce was extremely difficult to make. Oh well, “chefs” make you think that. So I decided to finally make it, after a lot of years, and let me tell you it’s not that difficult! I love eggs benedict; that’s why I wanted to make this sauce. But the reality is that you can use this sauce with a lot of things like asparagus or other vegetables. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Ingredients:

1 ½ sticks of unsalted butter  

6 egg yolks

2 teaspoons of lemon juice

pinch of cayenne pepper

¼ teaspoon of salt

Procedure:

Fill a medium saucepan with an inch of water and bring it just to a simmer. (Only a few bubbles, not a roiling boil)

Put the egg yolks in a large heat resistance bowl and mix them.

Combine your egg yolks and butter in a large heat resistant bowl and set it over your simmering water.

Whisk constantly until your butter melts and your ingredients have just combined.

Meanwhile microwave the water for 1 ½ minutes and gradually add it to your egg and butter mixture. Whisk constantly for 7 – 10 minutes or until thickened. Your mixture will have a thin constancy and will lighten in color when the water is added.As you whisk it will slowly thicken (about 6 minutes) the consistency will dramatically change and the color will brighten.

Once thickened, immediately remove from the heat and add the lemon juice.

Season with salt and cayenne pepper

Whisk until combined and cover with plastic wrap then set it aside in a warm place.

Enjoy!
