Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
1/2 cup lard or bacon fat

Preheat oven to 350. In medium mixing bowl, combine green onions, chiles, garlic, 2 tsp salt and 1 tbsp pepper. Blend well. With a paring knife, cut 12 (1-1 1/2inch) slits throughout roast. Stuff each slit with an equal amount of mixture, until all is used. Season outside well with salt and pepper.

Add all vegetables to Dutch oven. Add water until bottom of pot is covered. Cover and bake 21/2-3 hours or until tender. Serve over steamed white rice.
