This is just so simple to do - if you like smoked meat and find you do not have a smoker or do not have the option of digging a pit to smoke and cook your meat, then try this recipe using your oven.
While the original recipe calls for banana leaves and ti leaves to be used in the preparation, I am including my own personal substitutions for those items. The flavor is still the same using my substitutions as if you use the original ingredients of leaves.
4 - 5 pound butt roast
2 1/2 T kosher salt
2 T liquid smoke
4 - 5 whole ripe bananas (original recipe uses banana leaves)
aluminum foil (original recipe uses ti leaves)
Trim excess fat from roast - score roast and then rub with salt and smoke mixture. Place whole bananas on top of the roast and then wrap roast and bananas in foil. Roast in oven at 325 - 350 degrees fahrenheit for approximately 45 minutes per pound or for about 3 hours for a 4 pound roast to about 4 hours for a 5 pound roast, etc. When done, let rest for about 30 minutes before removing foil and bananas and cutting.
This makes for a enticingly delicious roast with a smoked flavor and melts in your mouth!!!
Enjoy! While this recipe is actually for a pork butt roast, I used it last year for a wild boar butt roast and it was magnificent!!!!
