Desert Gold Whiskey Crowned Pork on the Drum

I have no idea what to call this. It was one of those "I don't have time to cook" meals.

I sprinkled some pork with Big Poppas Desert Gold, added one cup of Crown and one cup of water to the cast iron pot...



topped with onions and minced garlic then placed in my drum with some hickory...





slow simmered for 3 hours covered with foil...



then removed the foil to let the meat roast until tender...



I wanted a quick side dish so I made some couscous.
Drizzled it with the Desert Gold, Crown infused broth...





It was pretty tasty! The sip of crown on the side absolutely melted me. lol I'm not a heavy drinker.





I'll definately make it again.
Thanks for looking!

Thanks for using the desert gold I love that stuff

Looks great Jeanie!! Crown brings back alot of college memories!! Most of them are good..

Looks great Jeanie!

Another great looking meal there Jeanie, that pork looks beautiful! The Desert gold is killer, definitely one of my favorite rubs.

Mmmm... Simple braised pork goodness. How could you not like that?


Jeanie you're the one who needs to be crowned... "Queen of the Q"!

wow, nice meal jeanie. that's just a little bit of heaven on that plate. yummy.....

Wow, very nice jeanie!

Just wondering how the cup of Crown in the pot contributed to flavor of the dish. It certainly looks very good. I personally would have a hard time parting with the Crown from my glass.

i hear that! I love homemade JD BBQ sauce....but man it's hard to pour two cups of Jack into a sauce that lasts for one cook!

Thanks Friends!

I use crown in a venison dish Buck & Bourbon Cowgirl's Country Life: Buck & Bourbon....with Beer Bread on the drum
I like the flavor the crown adds...( I didn't have real bourbon)

Crown is the only whiskey I have on hand but recently bought a bottle of a less expensive kind to try in cooking. I'm not real familiar with whiskey brands... I'm a light weight when it comes to booze.
