Tender pork stewed all day in a crockpot with rosemary, mushrooms, onions, sherry, and potatoes. Simple and delicious, it's easy to make and easy to customize. If you're in a hurry and don't want to chop potatoes, or if it all doesn't fit in the crockpot, you could serve the dish with mashed or boiled potatoes later instead.

Time 8h10m

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

2kg pork shoulder, skin removed
1 onion, sliced
2 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp flour
2 tsp oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed
160ml cloudy apple juice
1 tbsp black treacle
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
50g onion marmalade
1 fennel bulb, sliced thinly
1 apple, sliced thinly
juice 1 lemon
8 - 10 bread rolls
English mustard
mayonnaise (optional)

Steps:

Put the onion slices at the bottom of the slow cooker. In a small bowl mix together 1 tbsp salt with 1 tsp ground black pepper, the smoked paprika and cinnamon. Put the flour onto a plate then rub the spice mixture over the pork.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and roll the spiced pork in the flour before putting it into the pan to sear it on all sides. Once the meat is starting to pick up a golden colour pop it on top of the onion slices in the slow cooker.
In a large jug combine all the ingredients for slow cooking the pork then pour over the meat. Pop the lid on and cook on the low setting for 8 hours.
When you're ready to serve, take the meat out of the slow cooker leaving the cooking liquor behind. Put the cooked meat on a roasting tray or large shallow bowl and pull it into bite-size chunks and shred with 2 forks. Ladle a little of the cooking juices over the pork and mix together.
Toss the fennel and apple slices in the lemon juice and season well then serve along with the pulled pork in bread rolls. Spread the rolls with a little English mustard and mayonnaise if you like.

SLOW COOKER PORK CASSEROLE

Slow cooker pork casserole image

Cosy up on cold nights with our comforting slow cooker pork casserole. Chopped apples would make a great addition - add them in the final hour of cooking

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable or rapeseed oil
4 pork shoulder steaks (about 750g), cut into large chunks
1 onion, chopped
1 leek, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
bundle of woody herbs (bouquet garni) - we used 2 bay leaves, 3 sage leaves and 4 thyme sprigs, plus a few thyme leaves to serve
1 chicken stock cube
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tsp cornflour
1 tbsp honey

Steps:

Heat your slow cooker. Drizzle the oil in a wide frying pan over a high heat. Season the pork, then add to the hot pan. Avoid overcrowding the meat - you may want to do this in batches. Cook until deep brown all over, then transfer to the slow cooker. Add the onion and leeks to the frying pan and cook for a few mins, until they soften. Add a splash of water and scrape any tasty bits from the bottom, then tip everything into the slow cooker. Add the carrot, herbs, stock cube, mustard and vinegar, season, then add enough water to just cover the ingredients. Stir, then set your slow cooker on low for 6-8 hrs, or high for 5-6 hrs.
In a saucepan, mix the cornflour and honey with 1-2 tsp of liquid from the slow cooker, until you have a smooth paste. Add 100ml more liquid, bring to a simmer until thickened, then stir back into the casserole. Serve with mash or dumplings, scattered with thyme leaves.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for slow cooking, as it has a lot of connective tissue that breaks down during cooking, resulting in tender and flavorful meat.
Sear the pork before slow cooking: Searing the pork in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker helps to develop flavor and color.
Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid you add to the slow cooker will help to infuse the pork with flavor. Good options include broth, wine, beer, or cider.
Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables and herbs will add flavor and moisture to the pork. Good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
Cook the pork on low for 8-10 hours: This will allow the pork to cook slowly and evenly, resulting in tender and fall-apart meat.
Let the pork rest before serving: After cooking, let the pork rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked pork is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. With a little planning, you can have a flavorful and satisfying meal on the table with minimal effort. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious dinner, give slow-cooked pork a try. You won't be disappointed.
