Butt Roast

   We had my mother and one of her friends over for dinner recently, and wanted to cook up some of our fresh pork. We decided to use the butt roast, even though most people use this cut to turn into pulled pork, we cooked like a regular roast.
   What we did was, heat up a pan with some oil in it and seared each side of the roast for about a minute per side. Then cut slots in the roast and put pieces of garlic and rosemary inside it. Sprinkled salt, pepper, and some more rosemary on the top, and put it in the oven at 325 degrees for about two and halve hours. Once it hit 140 degrees inside the pork it was done.

   We served it up with some roasted vegetables from our garden and some leftover rice from Thanksgiving, someone has to eat the leftovers, and it turn out to be a awesome meal. The pork came out great, even though the butt roast is considered one of the cheaper cuts, it tasted like one of the best roast I ever had, and we're excited to continue eating our own homegrown food.
