Slow-cooked pork butt is a tender, flavorful cut of pork that's perfect for hearty meals. Also called pork shoulder, this cut is well-marbled with fat, which makes it ideal for low-and-slow cooking methods like braising or roasting. Commonly seasoned with a blend of spices, garlic, and herbs, it's a versatile dish found in cuisines worldwide, from Southern barbecue to Mexican carnitas and Hawaiian kalua pork. Rich in protein, essential vitamins like B6, and minerals such as zinc, pork butt can be a nutrient-dense choice. However, its fat content means it’s higher in calories, so portion control is key for a balanced diet. Cooking methods like slow roasting can help retain its natural juices without requiring added oils. Pairing it with fiber-rich sides like vegetables or whole grains makes this savory dish a delicious and satisfying option for special occasions or comforting weeknight dinners.
