SLOW COOKER PORK ROAST



Slow Cooker Pork Roast image

I tried this cut of meat when it was on sale, and for lack of any other ideas I took suggestions from the back of the label, with a few tweaks (like making gravy). This is a very popular dish at our house, and it could not be easier! Instead of rubbing the roast with the onion soup mix and then adding the cranberry sauce, you can also just mix the onion soup mix with the cranberry sauce and pour the whole mixture over the roast.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
2 tablespoons butter, or to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed

SLOW-ROASTED PORK FOR TACOS



Slow-Roasted Pork for Tacos image

To make tacos for a crowd, you can't do better than to begin with slow-roasted pork, scented with cumin and coriander, garlic and red pepper. Use shoulder or butt meat and you won't go wrong, as the high fat content makes the meat self-basting. Slow, indirect grilling is ideal, but you don't lose much by cooking the pork in the oven, using moderate heat. Shred and serve on warm tortillas.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 cloves garlic, peeled
2 pounds pork shoulder, preferably boneless and in one piece
1/2 teaspoon peppercorns
1 teaspoon fresh oregano (or use dried Mexican oregano)
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 inch cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon coriander seed
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Sliver 4 cloves of the garlic and use a thin-bladed knife to poke holes all over the pork; insert garlic slivers in holes.
  • Combine the peppercorns, oregano, cumin, cinnamon and coriander in a small skillet and turn the heat to medium. Toast, shaking the pan occasionally, until the mixture is fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Combine the toasted spices, salt and remaining garlic in the container of a small food processor or blender. Turn on the machine and gradually add the orange and lemon juice until you have a smooth purée. Rub all over the pork; let the pork sit at room temperature for up to 2 hours or in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • At least 2 hours before you plan to eat, turn the oven to 300 degrees or prepare a charcoal or gas grill to cook over low indirect heat. Put the pork in a roasting pan in the oven or directly on the grill rack; if you're grilling, cover the grill. Cook, checking occasionally and basting with the pan juices if you're roasting (add water to bottom of pan if mixture dries out), until pork is brown and very, very tender, at least 2 hours. Shred or slice pork and use hot or at room temperature (pork can be refrigerated for up to 2 days).

CROCK POT PULLED PORK TACOS



Crock Pot Pulled Pork Tacos image

To bring together the flavors of this slow cooker dinner idea, combine this pork shoulder recipe with salsa and spices.

Provided by Catherine McCord

Categories     Pork     Kid-Friendly     Dinner     Lunch     Weelicious     Graduation     Sugar Conscious     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Small Plates

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon salt
1 3-1/2 to 4 pound pork shoulder, rinsed and cleaned
1 16 oz jar mild salsa
1 package corn or flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Place the first 7 ingredients in a bowl and mix.
  • Place the pork shoulder in the Crock Pot (slow cooker) and rub all over with the seasoning mixture.
  • Pour the jar of salsa around the pork shoulder.
  • Cook on low heat for 8-12 hours.
  • Remove the pork to a plate and using 2 forks, shred the into bite size pieces (I like to remove the visible pieces of fat).
  • Pour a scoop or two of the juices into the pork and stir to combine (If you want to remove the excess fat from the juice you will use, pour it into a cup and refrigerate it until the fat solidifies and can be easily scooped out. Only the juices will remain).
  • Place the pork into the tortillas.
  • Serve with desired accompaniments.

Tips:

  • Choose a pork shoulder or pork butt roast that is at least 3 pounds. This will ensure that you have enough meat for your tacos.
  • If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also cook the pork roast in the oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 6-8 hours.
  • Be sure to shred the pork roast with two forks before adding it to the tacos. This will make it easier to eat.
  • You can use any type of salsa that you like for your tacos. However, a tomatillo salsa or a roasted tomato salsa will add a nice smoky flavor.
  • Be sure to serve your tacos on warm tortillas. This will help to keep them from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Pork tacos are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a flavorful and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a fun and festive party meal, pork tacos are a great option.
