Additional cooking methods; grill on direct heat about 7 minutes. Baste in the barbecue sauce and wrap in aluminum foil. Grill for an additional 2 hours or until the meat is tender.
Boiling; Cut meat into squares or bite size portions. Fill a stock pot with about 4 quarts of water. Place the meat, 2 bay leaves, 2 tablespoons cumin, 1 onion that has been quartered and 3 cut or smashed garlic cloves.
Bring to a boil and then reduce to about medium heat.
Cook the entire mix for about 45 minutes or until the meat feels tender and shreds easily. Again a fork is best for this.
Dish is best served along side roasted or baked apples, peaches, pineapples or sweet potatoes. This balances the tangy flavor of the sauce and the garlic. French bread and a red wine are always appropriate.
Great as the main dish and better if used as a sandwich filling along with some slices of avocado or even baked mango.
