Cafe Rio Recipes

I got this recipe from Audrey Martinez. It is so good I had to share.

Shredded Pork:

2-4 lbs pork roast

1 ½ cup Coca Cola

Salt (to taste)

Pepper (to taste)

Garlic Salt (to taste)

Cook roast in a Crockpot on high for 4-6hrs, discard juices and shred.


Sauce:

1 cup Coca Cola

1 cup Ketchup

Bring to a low boil and put on top of shredded pork. Cook on low until ready to serve.

Cilantro Rice:

2 Tablespoons butter

1 ¼ cup rice

2 ¼ cup chicken broth

¾ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

Juice and zest of one lime

2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro

¼ tsp cumin (optional)

Melt butter and cook rice for 1-2 minutes. Then add broth and other ingredients, bring to a boil, cover (turn down heat) and cook for about 15-20 minutes.

Cilantro Dressing:

Equal amounts ranch dressing, salsa verde (I typically use the Mild salsa verde, but it is hard to find so when I use Medium salsa and put in a little more Ranch dressing so it isn’t so spicy)

1 handful of chopped cilantro

Put it all in a food processor and blend until cilantro is evenly chopped and mixed. Refrigerate before serving.
