Instructions
- Place bacon in the bottom of the crock pot. Then, set the pork roast on top of the bacon.
- Pour the pineapple chunks (with juice), tamari sauce, garlic, salt and pepper over the pork. Stir to combine.
- Cook on low for about 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender. Spoon pineapple and juice over the pork midway through. Shred the pork with a fork, mix with the pineapples and let cook for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- While the pork is cooking, add rice and broth to a small pot. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover with a lid and lower heat to simmer. Let cook for 15-20 minutes (if using short grain white rice) or until water has evaporated and rice is cooked through. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Saute onions and bell peppers with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 7-10 minutes, until they are tender.
- To assemble, place rice in a bowl. Top with pulled pork and add sauteed vegetables, sliced avocado, and pineapple and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
