Directions:

  1. Put all ingredients in a dutch oven. Cover and simmer about 5 hours, or until the roast falls apart and the beans are done. Uncover and cook about 1/2 hour until the desired thickness is achieved. Remove pork and shred.
  2. I used some of the leftover cooking water to make rice to go with the meal. I've also used the leftover cooking water as a base for bean soup. Smashed some of the beans and added some whole to the water. Added more garlic, onions, grated carrots and macaroni. Made a great soup.
