Easy recipe time...

Tomorrow we're celebrating Spanish Heritage Night at our house. OK, so we're not Hispanic nor are we really celebrating, it's just what we call it when we make pork roast, yellow rice and black beans! So, all you chef's out there looking for a SUPER easy dinner, here goes:

- Crock pot - a must have!

- 1 Pork butt roast a.k.a. Boston Butt roast - about 7.5 to 8lbs (Sam's sells these in a 2 pk for about 20.00, I buy them there and freeze one for next time)

-1 - 24oz. bottle of Goya Mojo Marinade (usually found in the Mexican food aisle)

-1 pkg yellow Rice mix (I like the Vigo brand in the yellow bag)

-canned black beans (how many depends on how many people you are feeding)

-1 onion

-bay leaves (about 2)

Now for the easy part:

The day before, place the pork butt roast with the fat side facing up in your crock pot (that is if your crock comes out of the base/electric part!) or a big enough bowl to marinate it in overnight in the fridge. I poke mine with a fork a few times to make sure it's dead... no really, so the marinade gets inside! LOL... Pour the whole bottle (after shaking it first) of Mojo over the roast, cover with lid and put in fridge overnight. In the morning (time will depend on when you plan on eating) put the roast in your crock pot base with the lid still on (do not empty the Mojo, it is used to cook the roast). Cook on HIGH for at least 8 hours (do not lift lid, I promise it will be ok!)

When time is almost up, cook yellow rice according to pkg and heat beans in a separate sauce pan with the bay leaves. In the meantime, chop up your onion to be served along with the beans.

When the roast is done carefully place it on a big serving platter (I use my Thanksgiving platter); With two forks, gently pull the pork apart and remove the bone and any excess fat (there won't be that much). The pork should just fall apart. I also take a ladle full of the juice and pour it over the pulled pork. Wallah! Serve with yellow rice, cooked black beans with chopped onion on top and some warm dinner rolls! Oh, don't' forget the hot sauce! mmmmmmmmm

FYI, a 7.5 lb pork roast will serve about 4 adults and three hungry teenage kids!

Note: leftover pork can be served the next day heated in a pan with your favorite BBQ sauce and served on hamburger buns.

Enjoy!
