My butts come divided into 3 smaller roasts, too. I mean, that's how I request them. I had pulled one out and had it seasoning hte last few days, and decided to do it a la Smithy's onion soup mix idea. Except instead of potatoes, I have put green plaintains in the bottom. The reason for this is, I bought these little mini-looking bananas the other day thinking that they were a sweet banana; I was coming from the gym and out of my mind with hunger for something sweet, and I saw the banana, and paid zero attention to the fact that they were plainly sitting next to the the plaintain bin, and not over by the sweet fruit. I just bought em. And nearly choked when I tried to shove one in my mouth outside the store, immediately after purchasing.
So, I had a few mini VERYSTARCHY plaintains left. They are now providing a bit of a bed bed for 2 pounds of pork butt that has been sprinkled with lipton onion soup mix. I figured, I like mofongo with pork chunks in it, so . . . .
I'll report back.
NB: This butt looks like it's been brutalized because I cut out about a pound of it to separately confit for tacos. I wasn't ravenous when I did that, but I must've been mad or something. It looks like that butt got murdered, I realize.
