Braised Pork With Fennel (Slow Cooker) image

Similar to sauerbraten without the overnight marinating. Pork maybe sliced in chunks or shredded before serving with sauce. I serve with boiled potatoes and steamed carrots.

Categories     Pork

Time 6h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 lb pork shoulder roast (boneless and tied)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and sliced
1 large fennel bulb
1 c apple cider vinegar
3 Tbsp sugar
1 can(s) (15 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
1 c chicken broth
1 tsp chicken bouillon granules (or 1 bouillon cube, crumbled)
2 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
3 Tbsp cornstarch
3 Tbsp cold water
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Slice off root end of fennel and discard. Slice bulb and some of the green stems and leaves. Save some of the feathery leaves for garnish.
  • 2. In a large, heavy skillet, sear the pork in the oil over medium-high heat until it's brown all over, about 20 minutes. Transfer the pork to the slow cooker.
  • 3. Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Sauté the onion and fennel until just a little golden. Transfer them to the slow cooker.
  • 4. In a small bowl, mix together the vinegar and sugar. Pour the mixture over the pork. Add the tomatoes.
  • 5. In a bowl, mix together the broth and bouillon until the bouillon dissolves. Stir in the garlic, thyme, and red pepper. Pour this over the pork.
  • 6. Cover the slow cooker, and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • 7. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it on a serving platter. Using a slotted spoon, scoop out the vegetables and pile them around the pork. Cover the platter with foil and put it in a warm place.
  • 8. Turn slow cooker to high and stir cornstarch mixture into liquid and heat until thickened slightly. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, if needed.
  • 9. Chop some of the fennel leaves and sprinkle over roast and veggies. Slice meat and serve with sauce.
