Reggae Roast in Beer

My favorite way to do a big piece of pork roast is in my slowcooker. I like to use a rump roast.  After trimming the fat, coat it in rub and work it in good. Drop it in the pot and pour in a bottle of beer. Cover it and simmer for 6 or more hours, depending on the size of roast. Try to resist the temptation to lift the lid. I consider it done when it jiggles and falls apart when tested with a fork.  With the Rajun’ potatoes(below), a simple salad, and a chunk of bread, you’ll want to share! Time to call some friends, (or family). If you want to put it over the top, season the roast the day before.

Rajun Potatoes

Take one peeled potato per person, slice it in half, then slice the halves 4 or 5 times and toss them into a cast iron skillet.
Fry in olive oil for ten minutes,(stir occasionally), then carefully
add 3/4C of broth, (I use beef or chicken) while stirring, and add a tablespoon of Rajun Rub and some dried parsley.
Slide the skillet into the oven @ 325F for about 40mins.
or until browned and the broth is gone.
Enjoy!!!
