I have always been very opposed to wasting food; the economy makes it a moral crime. I am always trying to figure out ways to use up leftovers without eating the same thing repeatedly. Making leftovers into something new has always been a good way to ensure nothing gets wasted. I took the pork roast from earlier this week and slow cooked it in a pan of homemade BBQ sauce in the oven.
What you will need...
Pretty much, whatever is in the fridge and pantry or...
Any type of leftover roast (either pork or beef - you can use leftover chicken as well).
1 small can of tomato paste
2 or more cloves chopped garlic
1/2 cup of red wine
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1/4 cup of brown sugar
Generous amount of fresh cracked pepper
Ground red pepper flakes for taste
I found two bottles of BBQ sauce in the fridge... each had about 3 tablespoons of BBQ sauce in each... filled both bottles about 1/3 of the way with steaming hot tap water, shook and poured it into the sauce pan.
Place the roughly broken-up roast in an oven-proof baking dish (de-bone the meat first) and pour the watery sauce over the meat. Seal tightly with foil... start in a 400 degree preheated oven for 20 minutes... knock the heat down to 225 and just let it go for about 3 hours.
Shred the meat with a fork and spoon and stir it to incorporate the sauce. Serve on buns, rolls or Texas toast... throw some pickles, chips, leftover slaw or potato salad... a cold beer is nice with this if you have one... recommend Blue Moon Belgian Wheat Ale... throw it in the freezer for 10 minutes and serve it extra cold.
This dish can also be done in a crock pot if you are going out or it is during the hot summer months.
