MONKEY MEAT!-

I have included this on the menu at my house since I've gotten several good deals on roast.

Its a nice change from just typical Roast, Potatoes, and Carrots.

Millie asked me about it on this post, so here it is!

Hope its something your family might like! ;-)

First- let me say that you can eat Monkey Meat on anything you want; tortillas, flatbreads, pita breads, sandwiches, buns, etc. But I personally love it on flatbread and there's a recipe here if you'd like to try it my way! ;-)

Okay, while you make up your mind how you want to eat it, I'll just type up how to make it! :-)

1- approx. 4 pound roast (If you have a normal sized family or littles, then you could get by with half of that easy or this much would easily make 2 to 3 meals!)

**Now, how I like to do this is cheat a little bit! For supper, I cook an extra roast, so for lunch the next day or supper, we can have Monkey Meat with the extra!

**Now if you don't want to do that, you can toss all of the following in the crock pot and cook it on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for about 4. Or you could cook it in the oven if you like.

In large pot:

-1 onion chopped

-1/2 cup chopped bell peppers

-2 finely chopped carrots

-2 stalks finely chopped celery

saute in 1/4 cup olive oil

Add:

-1 t minced garlic

-1 finely chopped, seeded chili pepper (opt) *I have some dried ones that I tossed in above.

-1 1/2 T chili powder

-1 1/2 to 2 t cumin

-1 t onion powder

-3/4 t garlic powder

-1/2 t black pepper

-1 t sea salt

-1 t oregano

-1 can diced tomatoes with chilies (or just tomatoes)

-1 cup of broth or water

Toss in the cooked roast, shred, and simmer while you make the flatbread or prepare sides or desserts.

(**Again, you don't have to use pre-cooked meat. You can toss it all in and cook as per above instructions.)

**Served in above pics with sour cream and sharp, shredded, cheddar cheese; on flatbread- fold like a taco and eat!

MONKEY MEAT!
