I'm making it up

This year, before Superbowl weekend I saw a great show on Superbowl meals....one of the presenters, whom I cannot name, made Cuban Sandwiches. Now this was not your typical Cuban loaded with a variety of meats, but a real roast your pork, Swiss cheese, sliced dills, good mustard and toast your bread kind of recipe. For the life of me I cannot find it so I am making it up.

What I do remember is the pork roast gets rubbed with a generous amount of ground cumin, a staple in my house as we visit the DeKalb Farmer's Market each Thanksgiving weekend and stock up for the coming year, thank you Lisa and Joel!!

The roast then goes to the slow cooker in 1 can of chicken stock and 1 cup of orange juice. Roasted on low until it falls apart! Today, because of a blog at the Winged Messenger, I added red beans. Tonight we will have succulent Cubans, and red beans ready for rice or grits for later in the week.

Glad I could help remind you about red beans-- the pork sounds amazing! Now I'm glad I just inherited a slow cooker from Mimi, and I might be trying out your cooking technique. Citrus and pork are lovely together. I might add a bit of brown sugar. =)
