Cajun Style Pork Roast
Suitable for All Holidays!
One pork roast to suit the needs of your family
1 chopped onion
1/2 chopped bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 - 3 tablespoons garlic/minced (u can never put 2 much garlic)
2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 cup cooking oil
2 cans coke (classic regular coke - no diet stuff here)
2 tblspoons jalapeno peppers chopped
1 pk of Lipton Onion soup
a bit of green onions chopped
a bit of parsley chopped
water
You really need a pot roasting pan such as a black cast iron pot. If not, then use a
magnalite type roasting pan.
Purchase your pork roast now and when you get it home, slice holes in it and stuff with
onions and garlic. Do not be afraid to really stuff this thang. Wrap it in freezer protective
paper or a freezer bag. Place in freezer until time to cook..!
Thaw the roast at room temperature. Once it has thawed, you take a black cast iron pot
and put a tad bit of cooking oil in the bottom of it. Once it has gotten hot..( few moments)
place the roast in the pot. Sear the roast (let it brown) on medium heat until brown.
(make sure you are leaving those gramee's in the bottom of the pan.) Continue this by
turning the roast over and rolling it to let it brown all over. When it has browned all over,
take the roast out and place in a dish. Put the ingredients, with EXCEPTION TO THE
GREEN ONIONS & PARSLEy & GARLIC, and place in pot along with those gremee's you
have scraped off the bottom of pot. Stir around to make them saute in the oil and then....add
the onions & garlic. (Garlic burns so don't put too soon). Let the ingredients saute in the
juices. Add the meat back to the pot. Add 1 or 2 glasses tap water to prevent it from sticking.
Stir the ingredients including the roast. Let this cook for about 30 minutes stirring often. Add
the Lipton onion soup. Make sure there is enough water. May want to add one more glass.
Add the remaining ingredients....including the coke. THis will add a hint of goodness to it.
(my personal secret that I am sharing w/you all.) Cook over medium heat for about 1 hour or
until the pork is tender. Serve this over rice with a glass of ICE cold tea. Or whatever you
drink....just beware that it needs to be close by.

Deviled Eggs
Egg Yolk (pre- boil Eggs)
Mayonnaise
Mustard
Finely chopped green onions
Dash salt & pepper
Dash of cayenne pepper
1 tbsp. pickle relish
Black Olives (diced)
1/4 tsp. honey
I just slice the eggs long way in half and take the yolks out. Put yolks in
a bowl, where I put mayo, mustard, finely chopped green onions, dash of
salt & pepper, dash of cayenne pepper, tablespoon of pickle relish, diced up
black olives & just about 1/4 tsp of honey. Mix the ingredients up & then
stragetically put the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Smooth it up to make
it pretty & sprinkle paparika on top to make it pretty. I place a mint leaf on
the side to garnish the dish.

Deviled Eggs
Hard boil 12 (1dozen) eggs
Helleman's Mayonnaise
Coleman's Mustard- this is powdered and comes in a yellow can
Pepper/salt
Vinegar-1/2 teaspoon
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Paprika(used as a garnish)
Coleman's Mustard is VERY HOT....add tablespoon of this to pulverized
egg yolks sprinkle garlic-onion-salt-pepper over the entire bowl of dry
ingredients and mix together thoroughly. Add Vinegar. Start with 3
tablespoons of mayonaaise; stir mixture and keep adding mayo tablespoon
at a time until it reaches the consistency of thick paste......TASTE IT
If you want it to bite you...add more mustard powder. If you think
it is too bland, ante up more salt/pepper/onion & garlic powders.
Spoon the paste into the egg whites liberally. Sprinkle with paprika
and put in the refrigerator. They taste best when cold. As a general
rule of thumb when I season things. I start with a little and add until
I get it to taste righ. So, maybe you should boil 18 eggs.
