Ruby Slipper

Ingredients:

• 15 pounds of pork roast
• vegetable oil as needed
  
• salt & pepper, to taste
• 5 yellow onions
• 1 bunch celery
• 1 quart  apple juice
• 1 bottle Abita Amber beer 
• 2 quarts chicken stock
• 8 green apples, peeled and quartered
• 8 sprigs fresh thyme
• 7 bay leaves

Instructions:

Quarter pork roasts, season with salt & pepper and sear all sides in a hot roasting pan with vegetable oil. Add vegetables and continue cooking until vegetables are caramelized. Deglaze pan with Abita Amber, then apple juice. Add the apples, chicken stock, and water to cover. Add the thyme and bay leaf tied in cheesecloth (for easy removal). Simmer for 4 ½ hours until pork is falling apart. Remove pork and vegetables. Continue reducing liquid. Discard thyme and bay leaf. Mix all in a standing mixer with a paddle attachment.

Note:
The Ruby Slipper pork debris special consists of a split house-made biscuit topped with a generous portion of pork debris, poached eggs, and Hollandaise sauce. If you're not planning to serve 50, divide and reduce all ingredients by 5 and enjoy!
