Spicy, Speedy, Spanish Pot Roast Recipe from Publix

Food shopping at my local Publix supermarket is a pleasure, and something I actually enjoy. The food, the employees and the service are always excellent.

I especially enjoy the food demonstrations and tastings presented by Apron's. Apron's is a program created by Publix to "help customers rediscover the joys of preparing a meal at home."

The Apron's program includes

• Simple meals recipes, quick to prepare and good to eat
• In-store cooking demonstrations where customers can taste and learn
• Easy to read recipe cards and shopping lists
• All the ingredients in one place, if you decide to try the recipe at home
• Separate cooking classes taught by chefs where skilled cooks and novices can expand their cooking skills

Recently while shopping at my local Publix, I watched the preparation of, and tasted Quick Spanish Pot Roast and decided to make the recipe at home. You can easily find these ingredients at any supermarket. With a few modifications this recipe turned out quite well

Speedy, Spicy, Spanish Pot Roast

• 2 bags of Boil in the Bag rice
• 1 (17-oz.) fully cooked Beef Roast (undrained), found in the meat section
• 1 (10-oz.) can of Rotel Diced Tomatoes with Chiles
• 1 small jar of green salad olives...can be served on the side to cater to olive haters
• 1 can of corn

Directions:

1. Cook rice according to directions on package
2. Place pot roast, tomatoes, and olives in a large sauté pan or electric fry pan.
3. Cook and stir 10 minutes, breaking up pot roast until ingredients are heated and blended.
4. Heat corn, drain and add to pot roast mixture
5. Shred meat with 2 forks, mix together, and serve over rice

You can serve this easy meal with some Cuban bread and maybe some flan (a Spanish custard) for dessert.
