Of course our version I'm sure was not as healthy.  If we make this again we will try the tenderloin instead of the roast.  The roast made it too greasy.  I think you could use a pork roast but you would need to cook it first then cool it so that you can drain off the grease and then re-heat it with the other ingredients.  

I'm thinking the cut of meat you choose will depend on which you have more of:

time or money....

Still worth a try.  It was yummy!
