| 1. Combine all ingredients in a stockpot and simmer until fork tender-this can take from 3-4 hours. | 2. Can be made in a crock pot also-decrease liquid by about 1/2, bouillon powder by 1/3, and cook on low for 8-10 hours (or until tender as above). | 3. When tender, remove from heat and allow meat to cool in the broth until cool enough to handle (this will keep the meat moist). | 4. Shred (or "pull") either with forks or by hand. | 5. Place in storage container and add some of the broth to moisten; refrigerate until needed. | 6. Reheat either in microwave, or in saucepan; use a little of the juice to keep it moist. | 7. For the Mexican-flavored pot roast, don't shred-slice fairly thick (about 1/2"), and make a gravy by thickening some of the juice with either cornstarch or roux (sorry, you'll have to thicken by sight; tough to give an exact quantity for that); serve with plain steamed rice/boiled potatoes and a vegetable-broccoli and/or carrots come to mind first. Leftovers make great open-faced hot sandwiches. | 8. For soup, take broth and add some onions, carrots, celery, an extra bit of canned diced tomato (you can use almost anything for veggies depending on what you like/have on hand), some of the pork meat and posole (or hominy); simmer until tender and add shredded cabbage; cook another 15 minutes. Serve with hot tortillas and a salad for a complete meal. | 9. Can also be made as beef machaca by using bottom (outside) round, chuck, or brisket; replace chicken bouillon powder with beef. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
