Sampled my Javelina

[AWS]

Last night I had to sample my javelina, it was rather uninspiring, no unique flavor. I decided to make a couple pieces of the loin end into fajitas so I wouldn't bury the flavor in sauces. It is rather like a tough pork. I did give it the Chinese tenderizing(short soak in baking soda and heavily rinsed) before cooking. I'm thinking this stuff would make great sausage and any dish that can cook for a long time, chili verde/stew, also tamales with green chili/javelina filling. I used to make duck and chili tamale filling that was great.

I was also unimpressed. I just did shake & bake.

One word - chorizo.

I make a lot of chili with my javelina. Ground or shredded is usually best with javelina meat. Sometimes I put a javelina ham in the crock pot submerged in root beer for 8-10 hours then shred it. Serve it like pulled pork with BBQ sauce.
