Picked up a locally raised quality pork butt at the local farmer's market on Friday. Tried this Garam Masala rub recipe I found...smoked it over lump and apple for 11-hours to 195*.
How did it taste you ask? Let's just say I'll be doing this again
Garam Masala
Originally From: The Book of Curries and Indian Foods by Linda Fraser
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cardamom seeds
2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks, crushed
2 teaspoons whole cloves
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
3 tablespoons cumin seeds
3 tablespoons coriander seeds
Put all spices in a heavy skillet and dry roast over medium heat 5-10 minutes, until browned, stirring constantly. Cool completely, then grind to a find powder in a coffee grinder or with a pestle and mortar. Store in an airtight container up to two months.
I generously salted the pork butt and then rubbed in a generous amount of the above Garam Masala...before putting in the smoker.
