BBQ Pork Rillettes

Preheat smoker, BBQ or oven to 275°F.

For the smoker, rub the pork shoulder with BBQ seasoning and place on grill. Smoke until internal temperature reaches 165°F, wrap meat in aluminum foil and cook an additional 2 hours.

For oven or BBQ, place the spice rubbed meat into a casserole, add the butter and about 2 inches of water in the bottom and cover. Cook about 3 hours until meat pulls apart easily.

Pull the pork and place about (3 cups) in a food processor. Add the BBQ sauce and pulse to mix well.

Line a small bowl with plastic wrap, add the meat and fold up the plastic to form a ball.

Chill completely in refrigerator. Before serving, remove plastic wrap and coat meat with bacon bits. Garnish with a drizzle of BBQ sauce and a few chives.

Serve with a cheese platter or as an entree for sharing with crackers, tortilla chips or pieces of baguette.
