SPICY CITRUS PORK ROAST (CROCK POT)



Spicy Citrus Pork Roast (Crock Pot) image

This pork roast is a non-traditional twist on Mexican cooking from a book by Judith Finlayson. My husband, who grew up in Mexico, says it is his new favorite recipe! It took about 40 minutes to get this all in the crock pot in the morning, but that included all the roast preparation and vegetable dicing. If you trimmed your roast the night before and sliced the onions, bacon, & peppers, that would save some time in the morning. Serve with rice. We ate leftovers the next day on tortillas with guacamole & lettuce.

Time 8h40m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slices bacon, chopped
3 lbs boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns (or coarsely ground pepper)
1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 1/2 cups orange juice
2 bananas, peeled and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cook bacon until crisp in a skillet over medium high heat. Remove bacon pieces from skillet and set aside, leaving fat in skillet.
  • In same pan, brown roast on all sides. Transfer to slow cooker.
  • Remove all but 1 TB of bacon fat from pan. Reduce heat to medium. Add onions and cook, stirring, until slightly wilted.
  • Add garlic, jalapeno, chili powder, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring, one more minute.
  • Add orange zest, juice, and bananas, and cook, stirring to scrape up any bits stuck to the skillet. Mash bananas into sauce as you stir (but it's OK if some chunks/slices remain - these will disintegrate during the slow cooking).
  • Stir in bacon pieces. Pour contents of skillet over pork.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Note that the original recipe indicated that this could be cooked on high for 4-5 hours, but I'm afraid that my slow cooker would burn this due to the high sugar content of the fruit. You can use your judgment based on your knowledge of your slow cooker - I needed to save some time so I started on high for 1 hour and switched to low for 4 1/2 hours and it turned out perfectly.

The Encyclopedia of Creative Cooking This is soooo good. It is one of our family favorites. We love to serve it with rice (as suggested in the cookbook) and a vegetable.

Categories     Roasts

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

3-4 lb rolled rump roast (we've used other roasts as well)
2 Tbsp cooking oil
1/4 c flour
1 c onion, chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp beef boullion (or 1 cube smashed)
1 tsp celery seed
1 Tbsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
8 oz tomato paste
1/2 c water
for the gravy:
1/4 c flour
1/2 c cold water
hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • 1. Coat roast on all sides with 1/4 c flour. Brown all sides in a Dutch oven or heavy pan in hot oil.
  • 2. Add onions, garlic, beef bullion granules, celery seed, cumin, salt, pepper, tomato sauce and 1/2 c water.
  • 3. Cove with a tight-fitting lid. Cook over low heat until tender 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Remove meat; keep warm.
  • 4. Measure pan juices; add water if necessary, to make 2 1/2 cups (we just eyeball this part. Those juices re HOT.)
  • 5. Blend 1/4 c flour and 1/2 c cold water; stir into pan juices. Cook and stir until bubbly and smooth. Spoon over sliced meat and rice.

Tips:

  • Sear the Meat: Searing the meat before braising adds flavor and color and helps to keep it moist.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your pot roast. Some good options include carrots, potatoes, onions, celery, and parsnips.
  • Add Some Herbs and Spices: Herbs and spices can help to add flavor and depth to your pot roast. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion powder.
  • Use a Good Quality Stout: The stout in this recipe adds a rich, malty flavor to the pot roast. Be sure to use a stout that you enjoy drinking.
  • Cook it Low and Slow: Pot roast is a dish that benefits from long, slow cooking. This allows the meat to become tender and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Spicy Pot Roast is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give Spicy Pot Roast a try!
