Simple, healthy slow cooker pork roast recipe born from my love of sweetness and lack of ingredients. The dish works great even for singles or smaller families because the leftovers are great. Don't throw out the juice! Save all the juice with the leftovers and include it when reheating; it will keep the meat moist and delicious.

GLAZED SWEET AND SPICY PORK ROAST



Glazed Sweet and Spicy Pork Roast image

This is my own recipe. I think it's very good. It makes its own glaze as it cooks, not too sweet and not too spicy. I like to serve it with garlic mashed potatoes or twice baked potatoes.

Provided by Staten Island Slovak

Categories     Pork

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

one boneless pork loin roast (2 to 3 pounds)
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
3 tablespoons dried rosemary leaves
1/3 cup of good maple syrup

Steps:

  • Place roast fat side down in a shallow metal pan or iron skillet.
  • Rub all surfaces of the roast with canola oil.
  • Combine all the dry ingredients together to make a rub. Note: I mortar and pestle the rosemary a little to break it apart and release the flavor. You can use more or less of these dry ingredients to taste or to your perference.
  • Apply the above to all surfaces of the roast. Rub them in well and return the roast to the pan fat side down.
  • Drizzle maple syrup over top of the roast and let it run down the sides. Try to coat the top and sides evenly. It's okay if the syrup runs down onto the pan surface.
  • Bake in a preheated 325F oven. Refer to a cookbook pork roasting chart to determine the exact baking time, depending on the weight of your roast. A 2 1/2 to 3 pound roast should take about 1 hour and 20 minutes to be done in a 325F oven.
  • After the roast is done, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 20 minutes or so while still in the pan. Then use a tablespoon to gather the thick fluid (glaze) from the bottom of the pan and spoon it over the top and sides of the roast.
  • Enjoy.

Number Of Ingredients 17

For pork
1/3 cup coriander seeds
1 1/2 cups fine dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 lb center-cut boneless pork loin roast, butterflied
For chile cilantro sauce
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup caribe* (crushed New Mexico red chiles)
1 cup honey
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
*Available at specialty foods shops or by mail order from The Chile Shop (505-983-6080).
Special Equipment

Steps:

  • Prepare pork loin:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Coarsely crush coriander seeds with a mortar and pestle or an electric coffee/spice grinder, then stir together with bread crumbs, oil, pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Turn pork so a long side is closest to you and season with salt and pepper. Pat one third of seasoned crumbs onto pork, leaving a 2-inch border along top edge. Starting with side nearest you, roll meat into a cylinder and tie securely with kitchen string. Coat pork with remaining crumbs.
  • Roast pork on a rack in a roasting pan in middle of oven 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325°F and roast until an instant-read thermometer diagonally inserted at least 2 inches into meat registers 155°F, 1 to 1 1/4 hours more. Let pork stand, loosely covered, 10 minutes.
  • Make sauce while pork roasts:
  • Simmer bell pepper, caribe, honey, lime juice, and salt in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. Cool sauce to warm or room temperature, then stir in cilantro just before serving.
  • Slice pork and serve with sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or pork butt are the best choices for this recipe as they are flavorful and have a good amount of fat that will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Sear the pork before roasting: Searing the pork in a hot pan before roasting helps to develop a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
  • Use a flavorful rub: The rub used in this recipe is a combination of brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. You can adjust the spices to your liking, but be sure to use a rub that has a good balance of sweet and spicy flavors.
  • Cook the pork low and slow: Pork shoulder or pork butt should be cooked at a low temperature (250-300°F) for several hours to allow the meat to become tender and fall apart.
  • Add liquid to the roasting pan: Adding liquid to the roasting pan helps to keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out. You can use water, broth, or even apple juice.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F.
