I must confess - I like watching the food channel! I saw a throwdown with Bobby Flay the other day where he was going against a guy that was doing "cuban barbecue". The guy deboned the butt, and pretty much filleted it - laying it out flat, I guess butterfly is the word. He then put a little dried fruit and some cuban "mojo sauce" in and all over it, rolled and tied it up and slow que'ed it. It looked awesome. Has anyone tried this - butterflying then re-rolling before barbecuing? If so would you go to the same internal temps. Any ideas or experiences would be appreciated. It looks like a fun twist on traditional pork butt.

You can do it, but I don't since I like my pork done a little more traditional. I wouldn't go much past 175-180. Makes for an easy slice that doesn't go all crazy with ya. That's if you stuff it with something that you want to come out evenly per serving.



However, one of my favorite versions of this is "unrolling" a deboned leg of lamb. Do about the same thing which is turn it into a flat, even piece with a sharp knife and then rub and stuff with your favorite lamb fixins. Tuck the small thin flap in first(there will be one or two) and roll her up, tie it and roast. It looks like a round boneless pork loin if done correctly. Smiler
