- Now add about 1 cup or so of water just to come up a little on the sides of your roast and then cover and cook for about 4-6 hours on low heat or until the roast is easy to shred with a fork.
- Once your roast is fully cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and place on a sheet pan to cool and cover with aluminum foil.
- While it is cooling, make your black beans and cole slaw (recipe above)
- Do not discard your cooking liquid yet since we will use it in a bit.
- Once cooled, remove any fatty layers and discard and then begin to shred your pork by tearing it with 2 forks.
- Once you have shredded all of the pork, add about 3-4 tbsp of your cooking liquid and drizzle that over your pork making sure to coat all the pork a little bit.
- Now sprinkle your brown sugar evenly over the pork and set aside.
- start to slice your avocado and place in a bowl and then squeeze your lime over top to prevent browning and set aside.
Rice
- In a medium pot over hight heat add your butter or olive oil and then add your rice.
- Mix your rice around well to coat it in your oil for about 2 minutes.
- Now add your water and bring to a boil.
- Once the water comes to a boil, add your salt, stir and add your lid and lower the heat to low.
- Cook rice until it is ready (no more water is left), about 5-8 minutes.
