SLOW COOKER PORK LOIN



Slow Cooker Pork Loin image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 3 1/2- to 4-pound pork loin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Trim the visible fat from the loin. If necessary, cut the roast to fit into a 3 1/2-, 4- or 5-quart slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, ginger, thyme and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Rub the spice mixture over the entire surface of the loin.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium to medium-high heat and brown the loin slowly on all sides. Drain off the fat. Transfer the loin to the slow cooker. Combine the chicken broth, lemon juice and soy sauce in a small bowl; pour over the loin. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours. When the roast is done, transfer the meat to a serving platter and cover to keep it warm.
  • To make the gravy, pour the juices from the slow cooker into a glass measuring cup. Skim off the fat. Measure 2 cups of liquid, adding water to the juices if necessary to make 2 cups. Transfer the juices to a saucepan, reserving 1/2 cup. Stir the cornstarch into the reserved 1/2 cup of juices until dissolved, then stir into the juices in the saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the gravy is thickened and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Season the gravy to taste with salt and pepper. Slice the roast and serve it with the gravy.

SLOW COOKER PORK LOIN



Slow cooker pork loin image

Cook your Sunday lunch in the slow cooker this weekend. The pork stays succulent and moist and the vegetables are cooked alongside in the tasty gravy.

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 5h30m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1½ tsp fennel seeds
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp rapeseed or olive oil
300g shallots
about 1.8kg pork loin, skin removed and fat well-scored (cut from the thicker end of the joint)
1 small celeriac, peeled, quartered and cut into chunks
2 eating apples, such as braeburns or coxs, peeled, cored and cut into wedges
150ml white wine
250ml chicken or pork stock
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Lightly crush the fennel seeds with the leaves from the thyme and the garlic in a pestle and mortar. Add 1 tbsp oil and plenty of salt and pepper, then bash to a rough paste. Rub all over the pork, then cover and chill for up to 24 hrs, if you have time (2 hrs if not).
  • Set your slow cooker to a low heat. Pour a kettleful of boiling water over the shallots, then set aside for 2 mins until cool enough to handle - this will make them easier to peel. Cut off the root and remove the papery skins. Heat the remaining oil in a large casserole or frying pan large enough to fit the pork. Brown the shallots for a few mins then tip into the slow cooker. Add the celeriac and apples, season well and give them a mix.
  • Brown the pork in the same pan, on all sides, not forgetting the ends. Sit on top of the veg and apples, fat-side up, nestling the joint in a little so you can fit the lid on. Pour the wine into the frying pan and bubble for a minute, scraping the bottom of the pan to pick up any tasty bits. Pour in the stock, honey and mustard, bubble for another min, then pour over the pork. Cover with a lid and cook on low for 5-6 hrs (depending on slow cooker size), turning the pork and stirring the veg halfway through cooking.
  • Remove the pork, wrap in foil and leave to rest for 10 mins before carving to serve alongside the veg with roast potatoes and greens.

Tips:
