Recipe of the Week

Finally got this from a friend and it is SO YUMMY! It's pretty time consuming but one day I really am going to make it :)

Cafe Rio Rice


3 cups Minute rice
3 cups water
4 teaspoons chicken bouillon
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 can green chilies
1/2 onion

Chop cilantro, green chiles and onion together in a food processor. Bring water to a boil and add all ingredients, simmer covered 30 minutes.

Tomatillo Dressing

1 pkg. Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Mix
1 C. buttermilk
1 C. Mayo
1-2 tomatillos
2 green onions (the whole thing, minus the bottom roots)
1/2-1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 to 1/3 bunch cilantro, chopped
1/2 t. lime juice

Put in blender and blend until smooth. Chill for an hour.

Cafe Rio Pork

1- 3 lbs. Pork Roast
1 bottle taco SAUCE (found near the taco seasoning things in a bottle)
1 T Cumin
1 C brown Sugar
1 Can Coke

Put roast in crock pot and fill so that water covers 1/2 of roast. Cook roast for 3 hours on high in crock pot. After 3 hours- pull pork roast apart with 2 forks. Dump out water. Mix taco sauce, cumin, brown sugar, and coke in a bowl and put on meat. Cook for 3 hours on low in crock pot.

Eat everything wrapped in a tortilla. A little messy, but GOOD!
