SLOW COOKER PORK ROAST
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.

Steps:
- Pat roasts dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown roasts all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker.
- Add onions and additional 2 teaspoons oil to empty skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in wine and simmer, scraping up any browned bits with wooden spoon, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in tapioca, tomatoes and thyme; transfer to slow cooker.
- Toss carrots, parsnips, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and remaining oil in bowl until vegetables are well coated. Scatter vegetable mixture over pork. Cover and cook on low until meat is tender, 9 to 10 hours (or cook on high 4 to 5 hours).
- Transfer roasts to cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes. Remove twine from roasts and cut meat into 1/2-inch-thick slices; transfer to serving platter. Using slotted spoon, transfer carrots and parsnips to platter with pork. Stir vinegar into sauce and season with salt and pepper. Serve, passing sauce at table.
- Cook's Country Notes: TWO ROASTS ARE BETTER THAN ONE.
- Use two smaller roasts for this recipe, because the meat cooks more quickly and the small roasts are easier to manage in the slow cooker-and to find in the supermarket. Most boneless pork shoulder roasts come bound in string netting, which is difficult to remove after cooking. We prefer to cut the netting off before cooking, trim the roasts and then tie each one with cooking twine. If you cannot find 2 1/2- to 3-pound pork shoulder roasts, you can substitute one 6-pound pork shoulder roast.
- Remove the netting from the pork roasts. Open each roast and trim any excess fat.
- Tie the roasts separately. To ensure even cooking, fold the smaller lobes under, then tie each roast with kitchen twine every 1 1/2 inches around the circumference and once around the length.

Steps:
- Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place carrots in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Cut the roast in half. Place flour, seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, ground mustard, and oregano in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag. Add one half the roast to the bag, seal the bag, and shake until the roast is entirely coated. Repeat with other half of the roast.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add olive oil and brown roast on all sides (I did each side for about 2-3 minutes). Place both halves of the roast in the slow cooker.
- Pour the chicken broth on top of the roast and cook on low for 6 hours (or until pork is tender).
- Remove roast from slow cooker and using a slotted spoon, remove the carrots.
- Measure out 3 cups of liquid from the slow cooker and pour into a medium saucepan, bring to a boil. In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and water, then pour into saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes or until gravy thickens up.
- Serve with mashed potatoes and pour gravy on top.
SLOW COOKER PORK ROAST
You'll hardly believe this dish came out of a slow cooker. Searing the meat and coating it with a fresh herb paste gives this roast a good head start. A little rest and some fresh parsley and egg noodles ensures a great finish. Serve with roasted or mashed potatoes if that's what your crowd likes.

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.

Steps:
- The night before or up to 2 days before cooking, pulse the anchovies, garlic, mustard, salt, sugar, pepper, and allspice in the jar of a food processor until a thick paste forms. Rub that paste all over your tied pork roast, pushing it between the cracks as much as possible. (If you care about how your hands smell, you might want to wear gloves for this process.)
- If you have room to store the insert of your slow cooker in the fridge, tuck the rubbed roast into it, cover it, and refrigerate. If there's just no room, seal it into a resealable plastic bag and then refrigerate. Let it sit at least overnight or up to 2 days so that the salt and seasonings in the paste have a chance to penetrate the meat to tenderize and flavor it.
- Place the insert and the pork into your slow cooker set to low, cover, and cook until the meat is fork-tender but not completely falling apart, 7 to 7½ hours. (If it's done cooking before you're ready for it, simply remove it from the cooker, wrap it tightly in foil, and let it sit for up to 2 hours, then re-warm-still wrapped-in a 300°F oven before slicing.)
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the butcher's twine, then slice and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle vinaigrette over the top, or strain some of the juice out of the slow cooker, drizzle that over the top instead, and toss a flurry of chopped herbs over the top to make it pretty.
Tips:
- Choose a pork roast that is at least 3 pounds in size to ensure it cooks evenly and stays moist.
- Sear the pork roast in a skillet over medium-high heat before placing it in the slow cooker. This will help to brown the meat and develop its flavor.
- Add plenty of vegetables to the slow cooker along with the pork roast. This will help to create a flavorful broth and keep the meat moist.
- Use a variety of spices and herbs to season the pork roast. This will help to add flavor and complexity to the dish.
- Cook the pork roast on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
- Serve the pork roast with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker country-style pork roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and tender pork roast that your whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying meal, give this slow cooker country-style pork roast a try.
