Jamaican Firewalk Caribbean Pork Skewers

By Max Rosen

We cooked these pork skewers during our first Pork Butt Dizzcovery Class of the year and no one believed it could work. Taking pork butt and cutting it into cubes and cooking it for less than an hour doesn’t sound like it will give you incredibly juicy, succulent pork, but that’s exactly what happens. Our class attendees were shocked and every bite was gone!
