It's been such a long time since I enjoyed a meal at Cafe Rio, I honestly can't remember if this even resembles the sweet pork there. However, it is very tasty and great for a crowd. Ingredients:
4 lbs pork roast |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1 -2 garlic clove, pressed |
1 1/2-2 cups brown sugar, packed |
2 teaspoons cumin |
2 cups coke |
2 tablespoons molasses |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Spray crock pot with Pam and place pork roast inside. Mix remaining ingredients until sugar has dissolved. Pour over roast and cook on low until pork can be shredded with a fork (8-10 hours). The finished meat/liquid mixture can be frozen for later use.
2. My favorite way to put this meal together is as follows: make a bed of delicious cilantro lime rice (#310516) on a plate. Top with a scoop of black beans and a scoop of sweet pork. Cover with romaine lettuce and drizzle with equal parts Ranch dressing and salsa verde on top.
