Ingredients

Serve With

  • 6 oz egg noodles
  • 4 cup GREEN BEANS, SNAP
  • 2 fruit MANGO, FRESH

Instructions

  • Rub paprika, salt, and pepper all over pork. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high. Add pork and sear all sides; approximately 10 minutes. Place into large crock pot.
  • Add broth, balsamic vinegar, molasses, and soy sauce to the hot skillet. Bring to a boil while scraping pan to remove the cooked-on brown bits. Pour over pork in crock pot. Slice onion and garlic; add to pork.  Cook on low for 6 1/2 hours.
  • Remove pork and place onto cutting board, reserving liquid.  Shred pork and set aside, along with the cooked onions.
  • Skim fat from reserved liquid and discard. Add liquid to skillet and add cider vinegar; bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. (Here is a great tip from Cooking Light: After crock pot liquid has cooled to touch, add to a ziplock bag. Seal it and allow to stand and rest for 10 minutes while the fat rises to the top.  While holding upright bag over a skillet, carefully snip off a bottom corner and allow liquid to drain just before the fat layer reaches the bottom. Discard the fat.)
  • At this point cook the egg noodles as directed on package and set aside.
  • Whisk together the water and corn starch. Gradually add to boiling drippings in skillet; allow to thicken, stirring constantly. Add pork and onions, and stir until combined.
  • Place beans in a microwave-safe dish along with a small amount of liquid. Cover and cook for 5 minutes until hot and slightly softened (adjust cooking time according to desired tenderness).
  • Serve pork over noodles with beans and mango on the side.
