#5 Cafe Rio

A friend of mine sent me these recipes and she swears they are authentic! I am not a big fan of the Cafe Rio pork because it is so sweet, but this does taste just like it! The dressing and rice are amazing---Amy


Creamy Tomatillo Dressing

1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch
1 c. buttermilk
3 tomatillos (chopped up)
2 cloves garlic
1 c. fresh cilantro
1 t. Cayenne pepper
add some lime juice
Blend all in a blender


Cafe Rio Pork
3-4 lbs pork
1 16oz salsa
1 can Coke (do not use diet)
2 c. brown sugar

Put pork in slow cooker and fill with water. Cook on High for 5 hours.
Drain off water and wash out slow cooker. Cut Pork in thirds and put
salsa, coke and brown sugar. Cook for 2 hours on high and an additional 1 hour on low.

Rice


1 lb long grain rice
1 bunch of cilantro, chopped
Juice from 2 limes
3 cloves of garlic
4 cups of water

Add 1 teaspoon of oil to skillet. Add rice and cilantro and garlic and

Cook according to rice directions, but add lime juice to the water. For extra flavor, you can use some chicken broth in place of all or some of the water.
