I went looking for a new recipe on the weekend because I needed something different. Thanks to PaleOMG, I found a delightful recipe, that I modified slightly, as I dislike avocados. It’s who I am, ok??? Avocado’s are slimy and gross. I gag on them. It’s never going to change.
Ingredients:
2 pound pork roast {I actually bought 3 pounds and it was perfect}
3 garlic cloves, peeled
½ cup hot sauce
3 tablespoons smoked paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 heaping tablespoon red pepper flakes
lots of salt {I did three or four good turns of the salt shaker}
2 yellow onions, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
2 (14) ounce cans of fire roasted tomatoes
1 (14) ounce can of tomato sauce
avocado, sliced for garnish {OR NOT, cause ew!}
green onions, diced for garnish
Prep:
This recipe is mindlessly easy. Part of the reason why I chose this recipe. Ok, put the pork roast in a crock pot. Slice holes into the roast in 3 spots so that you can press the peeled garlic cloves into said holes. Take a break, you’ve earned it.
Next pour hot sauce over meat, then sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, and salt on top of the roast. I bought the spices from Whole Foods in their bulk section and paid like 10 cents for each spice. I felt proud. Cause how often am I really going to use cumin? Not much! Alright, alright, then place the diced onions, peppers, tomatoes and tomatoes sauce on top of the roast.
Cover and cook for 8-10 hours on low.
Garnish with green onions {and avocados if you must).
How did it go? It looks yum.
It turned out really well–a bit too much sauce, I would cut down to one can of crushed tomatoes, but the taste is out of control! I will make it again in the future.
I gag on melons. Any kind of melons: watermelons, honeydew, cantaloup. Every summer I try them to see if THIS year will be the year I’ll be able to eat them and every summer, I gag on them. I understand your aversion to avocados although, I do love me some avocado! 😉
