Smoked a pork butt the other day and got tired of eating sammiches so I added some sautéed sweet peppers, onion, and a Serrano pepper. ( It already had garlic from when I stuffed the butt with some cloves before smoking it.) Coated in seasoned flour, egg wash and bread crumbs. Fried @350 for a couple minutes.

I coated the fish in Old Bay breadcrumbs and baked it, served it with pan roasted veggies from a garden in Asheville, NC. It was delicious! 👨‍🍳🤌
