Sweet Pork:
2 pounds pork (we use boneless pork ribs) Marinate 3 hours or overnight
36 ounces Coke (3 soda cans) NOT diet
1/4 cup brown sugar
dash garlic salt
1/4 cup water
1 can diced green chilies
10 ounces red enchilada sauce (Old El Paso brand is gluten free, I like medium spiciness but any will work)
1 cup brown sugar
1. Put the pork in a heavy duty ziploc bag to marinate. Add about a can and a half of coke and about ¼ cup of brown sugar. Marinate for a few hours or overnight.
2. Drain marinade and put pork, ½ can of coke, water, and garlic salt in a baking dish cover with foil and bake at 300 degrees for 1-1/2hrs (or until it shreds easily, but don’t let it get TOO dry)
3. Remove from oven, drain liquids and shred
4. In a food processor or blender, blend ½ can Coke, chilies, enchilada sauce and remaining brown sugar (about a cup, you can add a little more or less to taste). If it looks too thick, add more Coke little by little. Put shredded pork and sauce in pan and cook another hour while cooking the bean and rice below.
