Dutch Oven Boston Butt Roast and Beans

Dutch Oven Boston Butt Roast and Northern Beans

We were both so pleased with this dish! The pork roast was so tender and the beans were seasoned with onions, celery and fresh thyme. I served it with hoecakes to dip up the delicious sauce the beans made.

We’ve just started cooking this way and I can see why people are still doing it this way since the pioneer days. I can tell you when this dish really started to simmer I’m surprised the neighbors didn’t rush out with plates. I used fresh rosemary and thyme to season the pork and thyme in with the celery and onions. Not only that it was done in about 1 1/2 hours. I used canned northern beans that were added in the last 30 minutes. Since we are only cooking for 2 I have enough of the pork left over for a second meal of Brunswick Stew.

Start by seasoning your meat and cutting your vegetables. Gather together the oil for braising the meat in and the beans.

We started using this fire starter after we made our first dinner in the Dutch Oven. It made it better because we let the coals burn down the first time and had to add more. These were perfect for putting under and on the grill. They lasted the entire cooking time.

We did about 44 briquettes to make this pork, I think 26 on the bottom and 18 on top. Add some oil to the pot when it gets heated up. Brown the pork and give the vegetables a stir or two. Then cover with the top and more briquettes.
