After buying my new Crock Pot my husband Chris decided he wanted to put a bone-in Boston Butt in it. He marinated it in Goya Mojo, rubbed a dry rub (called butt rub) into it and put it in the Crock Pot. On low. For two hours.
Um honey? That is going to take about ten hours. We’ll have to cook it overnight on low.
OOOh baby did that thing come out tender. It was done at about 9AM and I had to force myself to step away from the pork.
On another note I’ve been craving pizza, pizza and more pizza so where did this lead me? To a grilled pizza with slow roasted mojo pork, roasted red peppers, grilled onion and pineapple and some fresh mozzarella all happily mingling on a garlic naan. Good thing I worked out twice.
**Note to self: Next time do NOT go take a quick shower no matter HOW quick you think you can do it as the naan will burn. (Hence the “well done” look pictured here”).
But damn, this pizza is no joke. Burned or not we polished both off between three people.
Ingredients
2 garlic naan
3 roasted red peppers, chopped
1 cup roasted pork, chopped
1 cup fresh pineapple, sliced into rings
1 onions, sliced into thin rounds
3/4 cup shredded fresh mozzarella
Sprinkle of parsley (optional for garnish)
Directions
1. Grill the onions and pineapple rings. Cool a bit and slice onion thinly and cut pineapple into chunks.
2. Spray the garlic naan with cooking spray. Place top side down and grill until just toasted. Turn over and top with the peppers through mozzarella. Close the lid until the cheese gets melty and delicious.
3. Let cool so you don’t burn the crap out of the roof of your mouth.
My hubby loves pineapple and canadian ham on pizzas. He would love this!
I wasn't sure how the pineapple would be but once I added it, that bit of sweetness was key. It really took it over the edge! And with grilling it a bit to bring out the sweetness? SO good.
I like the addition of pineapple in this pizza. It brings a polynesian flair in it.
Yes I agree!
Dawn, this looks awesome. I've never been into the ham/pineapple combo on pizza, because I don't like ham, but I do really like pork and I'll bet it's even more delicous with the roasted red pepper and grilled onions! YUM!
I have to tell you I totally laughed out loud as I read step #3. (Too bad that even with such a warning, I'd do it anyhow. I'll never learn.)
Yeah me too. I can't believe I have a “roof” left. Too impatient!
I need to come have dinner with you.
Now can I just come over and grab a bowl of that pork? I imagine it tasted just heavenly! And I am in such a pizza/flatbread mood too. I would have done the same thing with it. Thanks for sharing and thank you for your warm words today on my blog. They mean a lot to me (and to my family)
I love that it has so many different toppings! Especially the pineapple. And naan is SO delicious anytime.
Come on over everyone! I'd love to have y'all over for dinner!
Naan really IS so delish.
I think I smiled throughout this entire post! You are too funny. This pizza looks and sounds amazing…I love pineapple on pretty much anything, especially savory dishes!
Thank you for your comments, that Minestrone was made on a rainy day and could not have been more perfect. Veggie soups are the best! Brad really loves photography and I think it plays a large part in how wonderful his pictures are so thank you thank you! It is a very special dynamic of cook and photographer we have going on in our tiny apartment but we certainly love it.
This looks so good! I love the twist with naan for pizza crust. I bet that pork was soooo tender after slow cooking so long. YUM!
