Beany Pork Roast

2# boneless pork roast

1c water

1 14.5oz can of diced tomatoes

fresh ground pepper

1 med. onion, chopped

1 lg. finely chopped clove of elephant garlic

2 chopped carrots

1 15oz can of rinsed and drained black beans,

~ kidney beans or garbanzos

1 28oz can of baked beans

Allow 4-5 hours for this cooking process from start to finish. If you need to be away from the kitchen for the afternoon, it can all be assembled and started on medium heat then left, for 5 hours. If you're going to be home and able to fuss with this a little, follow the timed steps. Cut all fat off the outer surface of the roast. Pour water and juice from tomatoes into bottom of a crockpot. Add roast and cover with tomato chunks. Cover and start on high, until everything bubbles, for about an hour and a half. Add chopped onion, garlic and carrots. Continue to cook on medium another couple hours. Cover roast and vegetables with baked beans and black beans, stir a little then cook another hour on medium heat. Let the roast rest, covered on a platter for about 5 minutes then slice and serve with a mix of the beans and vegetables. . .Lin
