Pepper

Onion powder

Garlic Powder

Salt

2 Peaches

Garnish

Radishes

Directions:

Cut Pork Butt into 5 x 5 pieces. Rub thoroughly with the dry rub. Let marinate for 1 - 3 hours. Brown each piece. This may need to be done in batches to get a crispy finish.

Deglaze the pan with red wine as you are browning. Cook (and brown) peaches after chopping into small pieces (2 x 2).

You may remove the lid and crisp up the top of prior to shredding.

Wonderful served with fresh tortillas or use in tacos, burritos, or enchiladas.
