South’s Best Butts

The South’s Best Butts by Matt Moore (April 25, 2017, $26.95)

Using the almighty pork butt – long considered to be one of the South’s most revered cuts – as his cornerstone, Matt leaves no pits, ovens, grills, or smokers unturned, as he interviews the famous and not-so-famous pit masters of America’s Southern barbecue region for the techniques and recipes that have made their barbecue some of the most sought after from Texas to Tennessee. Below is a recipe from his new book which is available on Amazon.

B-Daddy’s Pork Tacos & Slaw

B-Daddy’s Pulled Pork Tacos
You can visit Texas without having a taco, or three, as they are served at B-Daddy’s. The deliciously tender and slightly sweet pulled pork is heaped in a warmed tortilla with creamy chipotle slaw.
Serves 1

Hands-on: 10 minutes

Total: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 (6-inch) corn tortillas
6 ounces pulled pork, warmed
1/2 cup B-Daddy’s Chipotle Slaw
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (such as Head Country Barbecue Sauce)
Method:
1. Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high until it
foams. Add the tortillas, and cook
until bottoms are lightly charred, about 30 seconds. Turn and top evenly wit
h the pork; cook 30 seconds.
2. Remove the tortillas, and slightly fold. Top each with about 1/4 cup of the slaw and 1 tablespoon of the
barbecue sauce, and serve immediately.
B-Daddy’s Chipotle Slaw
B.R. and his son Kyle have perfected this creamy, spicy slaw to serve not only as a topping for a sandwich or taco, but also as a formidable side. If you can’t find chipotle salsa, simply blend up canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce until smooth. If you have time, it’s best to put this together a few hours before serving to really let the flavors meld.
