SLOW COOKER PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Coarsely chop together the rosemary, sage and thyme, and transfer them to a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil, and stir to combine.
• Score the fat cap of the pork shoulder in a crosshatch pattern, then rub it all over with 2 1/2 tablespoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and heat until shimmering. Add the pork, fat-side down, and brown it well, 3 to 4 minutes, then brown it all over, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to a large plate.
• Add the wine, garlic and allspice to the pan, bring to a simmer and reduce by about half. Set aside.
• Put the carrots, celery, onions and bay leaves in the insert of a 7-quart slow cooker. Rub the herbed oil all over the pork, being sure to push some into all the natural divisions between muscles; place it on top of the vegetables, and pour in any collected juices. Add the reduced wine mixture and the chicken broth, cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board, and tent with foil. Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter with a slotted spoon. Discard the bay leaves, and tent the vegetables with foil. Pour the juices into a liquid measuring cup, and let them settle for about 10 minutes. The fat should rise to the surface; spoon off as much as you can, and discard. Pour the juices into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil.
• While the juices boil, make a cornstarch slurry: For every cup of juices, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch into 1 tablespoon cold water until dissolved. Reduce the heat so the juices are simmering, whisk in the slurry and cook, whisking frequently, until the sauce has slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Season with salt if necessary.
• Slice the pork against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and arrange on a large platter with the vegetables. Ladle some of the sauce on top. Season the meat with a pinch of salt, and garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley. Serve with egg noodles, and pass the remaining sauce.

CROCK POT ROAST PORK BUTT RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Sear the pork roast in a bit of hot oil in a saute pan until all sides are evenly browned. This extra step isn't absolutely necessary, but it adds flavor and helps seal in the juices. Place the pork butt in the Crock-Pot. Most slow cookers can accommodate a roast between 5 and 8 pounds. Cook larger roasts in the oven or cut them in half. You must add liquid to a slow cooker or the roast will dry out as it cooks. Add 1/2 to 1 cup apple juice, white wine or broth. Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on the low setting for 8 to 10 hours. The connective tissue in the roast begins to break down when the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit, but don't be afraid to let the temperature go up to 185 F. As long as you keep liquid in the cooker, the roast won't dry out. Add a bit more liquid if necessary. Once the roast is fork tender, transfer it to a carving board. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes, or until it's cool enough to handle. Serve it in chunks or use tongs to shred it.

FALL-APART-TENDER SLOW-ROAST PORK BUTT

Steps:

• Make small slits all over the roast then insert a whole garlic clove into each slit (this is only optional).
• Place the roast in a greased casserole dish with a lid.
• Sprinkle the roast on all sides with Worcestershire sauce.
• Let sit at room temperature for 1-1/2 hours.
• After 1-1/2 hours spoon any Worcestershire sauce (if any) back on the roast that has accumulated on the bottom of the casserole.
• Using hands press the brown sugar well into the meat on all sides making certain to adhear the sugar to the meat.
• Pour the apple juice into the bottom of the casserole.
• Cover tightly.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F for 15 minutes.
• Place the roast in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature down to 200 degrees F.
• Roast for about 4 hours or until the meat is falling-apart tender (cooking time will vary depending on the size of the roast).
• Stir the salt and black pepper into the juice (do not omit the salt!).
• Slice meat as desired.

CROCK-POT ROAST PORK

Steps:

• Rub pork roast with salt and pepper.
• Make tiny slits in meat and insert slivers of garlic (or just sprinkle on some garlic powder).
• Place in broiler pan and broil about 15-20 minutes to remove excess fat. Check frequently.(I oftentimes just brown on all sides in frying pan).
• Mix hot water and soy sauce.
• Put one sliced onion in bottom of crockpot.
• Add browned pork roast and remaining onion and other ingredients.
• Cover and cook on high for 4 or so hours. (This is how long it takes in my Westbend slow cooker). Low setting would probably be 6-8 hours.
• To thicken gravy: Remove roast to serving platter. Blend 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water to form a smooth paste. Stir well and let come to a boil. Doesn't get too thick which is how we like it).
