MIXING BOWL EATERY RECIPES

Steps:

• Season pork with salt and pepper.
• In a medium sauté pan on medium-high heat, brown pork on all sides for about 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Using a sharp knife, insert blade into pork, cutting small holes and insert garlic slivers all the way in so you no longer see them.
• Season pork generously with cumin, adobo, sazon, oregano all over.
• Pour chicken broth in the crockpot, add bay leaves and chipotle peppers.
• Place pork in crock pot and cover.
• Cook low for 8 hours.
• After 8 hours, shred pork using two forks and combine well with the juices that accumulated at the bottom.
• Remove bay leaves and adjust salt and cumin as needed.
• Let it cook another 15-30 minutes.

Steps:

• Batter:
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mixing well until incorporated. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
• Filling:
• Fold all ingredients together in a bowl until well incorporated but not completely smooth.
• Syrup:
• Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and let reduce by 1/3.
• French Toast:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat a large saute pan and then add butter. Dredge the bread in the batter and place in the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool. Divide filling between 2 pieces of the bread top with the remaining 2 pieces of bread. Transfer French toast to oven and bake for 8 minutes.
• Cut each French toast in half and serve with the cinnamon syrup and, if desired, a large scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh berries.
