My sister brought over Duck Carnitas and I made some fresh Nixtamal Blue corn tortillas! Also fresh tamales with homemade masa as well. Feliz Navidad! Paul

I've done several about half that size. Rub of choice, then in refrigerator overnight. Next day it let rest on counter for 1 -2 hours to shed some of the chill while the KK heat sinks. Smoke at about 200-215°F grate temperature until roast center is 110°F (for rare) or 112°F (for medium rare). Pull and open the vents to get the KK up to about 500°F, then sear just above the charcoal for 1 - 1 1/2 minutes per side. Foil and towel then place in cooler to rest while center temperature reaches desired serving temperature. An 8 pound roast takes about 4 hours to reach 110-112° internal temperature, so 10 hours for your 14 pounder may be too long. But, like a brisket, it will hold in a cooler for several hours.

Merry Christmas everyone hope you had a good day Sent from my SM-T835 using Tapatalk

Merry Christmas all! Awake and restless but know now is not a good time to be playing with knives so I thought I would post instead. First things first: this meat tastes fantastic! The last time we bought veal from this farmer was in 2016 and we had forgotten just how good it is. He hung it for me for 4 weeks before I picked it up and the flavour is great without any additional aging. Would I do this butchery thing again? I don't know. It's a lot of work but I have enjoyed the exploration. @Paul, we are still figuring out the "value" of having a tool for sawing bones. I had a brainwave - instead of buying something we will only use once in a while, why not ask a local meat shop to do the sawing for me? That didn't work. They only cut their own meat and, in any case, they only do halal. Not surprising and 'twas only a delaying tactic en route to buying something. I did seam out the leg yesterday. The guy in the video I watched said it took him 25 minutes. It took me just over an hour, in between doing a few other jobs. I now have a bunch of interesting muscles to clean off and decide how I want to use them. The irony of all of this is that, after all that careful work to separate out individual muscles, some of this will just end up in my mincer. The good news is that all that cutting gave me time to work out a plan for new year's eve. Polpette (meatballs) made of a mix of veal and pork mince are a lovely snack served in bars and are just plain delicious. I will make them and bunch of other cicchetti (Venetian equivalent of Spanish tapas) so people can graze on the day. Here is to happiness! And to the Eagles getting to the Big Dance.
