Instructions

  • Preheat the grill (cover) at 350 to 400.
  • Prepare a dressing with the pig fat (or butter if you can’t find pig fat).
  • With garlic, thyme, bay leaf, oregano, salt and pepper, cover the pig with a silicon brush.
  • Put your pig on the grill, meat side first.

  • Brush the pig every 20 minutes with dressing.
  • Pour the beer over the pig after two hours. This helps the meat become more tender.
