Recipes from our RS birthday dinner in March 2015

Kalua Pork

1 Large boneless pork roast

approx 4 TBSP or about half of a 4 oz bottle of liquid smoke

1 1/2 TBSP coarse sea salt

1 cup water

place pork roast in crock pot with water. Pour remaining ingredients over the roast. Cook on low for approximately 8 hours or until pork easily shreds. Remove pork from crock pot drain half of the liquid. Shred pork and remove any fat. Return to crock pot and serve from crock pot. You can top with any sauce of your choice and or leave as is.  

*Works well over rice or makes yummy pulled pork sandwiches.

Orange Chicken

4-5 boneless chicken breasts

3/4 cup Orange Marmalade

3/4 cup BBQ Sauce of choice (I personally like a sweeter sauce with this recipe)

2 TBSP Soy Suace

Place ingredients in crock pot. Cook on low for approximately 5 hours.

Coconut Rice

2 cups uncooked Calrose Rice

2 2/3 cups water

1 teaspoon chicken bouillon

1 tablespoon butter

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk

¼ cup white sugar

1 can red beans (optional)

 Bring the rice, water, chicken bouillon, and 1 tablespoon butter to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk, beans and sugar. Stir, and simmer uncovered until the rice has absorbed most of the coconut milk.
