Spicy Shredded Pork Nachos Recipe (+)

Directions

Preheat oven to 325° F.
Mix all the spices together in a small bowl.
Place the roast on a large piece of tinfoil.
Rub the roast al over with the spice mixture.
Place the roast with the tinfoil under it in a roasting pan.
Pour 2 tablespoons oil over the roast.
Cover tightly with foil.
Roast the pork for 2-2 1/2 hours or just until very tender.
Remove from the oven, reserving the juices in the bottom of the pan.
Allow the roast to cool slightly. Chop and shred the pork and return it to the pan juices in the roaster.
Mix the meat in with the juices and keep it warm in a low 200°F oven.
For the marmalade sauce, mix the celery, juice, red curry paste and ginger in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
It will reduce down and thicken somewhat as it simmers.
Add the marmalade and cook 15 minutes more.
Remove from heat and stir in cilantro and salt.
Heat a skillet over medium heat with two teaspoons of olive oil.
Add the red and yellow pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the drained beans and heat through. Set aside.
To assemble, layer half of the chips on a serving platter.
On top of the chips, layer the seasoned pork; then drizzle the marmalade sauce on top of the pork.
Next, add a layer of the pepper and bean mixture; then add a layer of cheese and half of the green onions.
Repeat the layers and cook in the microwave for 5 minutes or just until the cheese is melted. They can also be cooked in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes.
