  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cilantro stems removed and minced, bunch fresh
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice fresh

Black Beans:

  • ½ cup olive oil (I only used about 2 tablespoons)

  • 1 bell pepper chopped, small green
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced

Instructions

  1. For mojo pork: Season pork with salt and pepper. Place all ingredients in slow cooker, mixing well. Cook 8 to 10 hours on low, or until pork is tender and easy to pull apart. Cool slightly and shred with two forks.
  2. For cilantro lime rice: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil, stir in rice, salt, and oil, reduce heat and simmer, cover and cook until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Set aside and keep warm.
  3. For black beans: Heat oil in a large saucepan and saute onion, red and green peppers and garlic over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add black beans, oregano, cumin, pepper flakes and cilantro and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in red wine vinegar. Simmer or keep warm until ready to serve.
  4. To serve: Scoop serving of rice into bowl, spoon black beans on top, then shredded pork. Top with fresh chopped cilantro and pickled red onions.
