We're excited to share one of our favourite BBQ guru's recipes. John created this recipe for Johnston's pork, and we thought it was the perfect addition to BBQ month. And, well, in our world, scotch eggs they are the perfect addition to any salad.
If you are ever in Steveston be sure to stop in at the Hog Shack, John's food is amazing. You won't be disappointed with their epic BBQ and craft beer.
