SLOW-COOKER GOAN PORK VINDALOO



Slow-Cooker Goan Pork Vindaloo image

In 1510, when the Portuguese invaded Goa, a region on the west coast of India, they brought with them a dish called carne de vinha d'alho, a sailors' preserve of pork stored in wine vinegar and garlic. Goan cooks reimagined the dish with local ingredients, like cinnamon, black pepper and coconut palm vinegar, and it came to be called vindaloo. Chiles are always included, but the dish is not traditionally superhot. In this version, the pork benefits from slow cooking in the vinegar and spices, making marination unnecessary. The blender does double duty: It purées the aromatics and grinds the whole spices at the same time.

Provided by Sarah DiGregorio

Time 5h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 large yellow or red onion, roughly chopped
10 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons finely chopped ginger (about a 2-inch length of peeled ginger)
1 tablespoon black or brown mustard seeds
5 whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
Kosher salt
5 green cardamom pods or 1/4 teaspoon cardamom seeds
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar or coconut vinegar
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
2 packed tablespoons grated jaggery or light brown sugar, plus more to taste (see Tip)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 tablespoon kashmiri chile powder (see Tip)
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne, or to taste (optional)
3 pounds boneless, skinless pork shoulder, cut into 2- to 3-inch chunks
Cooked basmati rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the onion, garlic, ginger, mustard seeds, cloves, peppercorns and 2 1/2 teaspoons salt in a blender. Using the flat side of a chef's knife, firmly press the cardamom pods so that they crack open. Put the seeds from each pod in the blender and discard the pods. (This yields about a heaping 1/4 teaspoon of seeds.) Pour the vinegar into the blender. Blend, first on low until everything is combined, then on high, until the mixture is fully puréed and the whole spices are crushed, 30 seconds to 3 minutes depending on your blender. (You will see flecks of spices, but everything should be at least coarsely ground.)
  • Pour the puréed mixture into a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Stir in the cinnamon stick, jaggery, cumin, turmeric, chile powder and cayenne (if using). Add the pork and stir to evenly combine. Cover and cook on high until the flavors have blended, the oniony taste is no longer sharp, and the pork is very tender, about 5 hours.
  • Remove and discard the cinnamon stick. Taste and add more salt or sugar if you like, before serving with warmed rice. The sauce will be rich and a little soupy, great for spooning over rice. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the pork from the slow cooker with a slotted spoon and put it in a serving dish. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Pour the reduced sauce over the pork and serve with warm rice.

SLOW COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK



Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork image

If you've spent any time on Pinterest or food blogs, you've likely come across a recipe for three-ingredient barbecue pulled pork that can be made in the slow cooker. Methods and ingredients vary, but the recipe almost always calls for boneless pork shoulder, some sort of dark cola (usually Dr Pepper or root beer) and barbecue sauce. Dubious? We were too, so we asked the members of our NYT Cooking Community Facebook page if anyone had ever made it and if they liked it. We received more than 150 very opinionated responses. Many readers have come up with their own clever twists, like using coffee or beer in place of cola, adding onions or chipotles, rubbing the meat with a spice blend and searing the meat before cooking. We tried cooking it a few different ways and found we liked this adaptation best. It calls for a few more ingredients and an extra step or two, but it's got layers of flavor and it's still mostly fuss-free. (You can find the pressure-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Categories     meat, sandwiches, main course

Time 10h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons hot or sweet smoked paprika
2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
3 to 4 pound boneless pork shoulder or pork butt, trimmed of most of its excess fat
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus additional for greasing
1 yellow onion, chopped (optional)
1 (12-ounce) can dark soda, like Dr Pepper, root beer, cola or birch beer
1/2 to 1 1/2 cups homemade or store-bought barbecue sauce
Hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork. If you have time, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight. If you don't, no worries; proceed to Step 2.
  • Lightly grease the crock of a slow cooker. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear the pork until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes each side. Add onion, if using, to the slow cooker. Add the pork on top of the onion. Pour soda over the pork and set the slow cooker to low for 6 to 8 hours, until the meat has collapsed and shreds easily.
  • Drain most of the liquid from the slow cooker and shred the meat directly in the pot. Add about 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce and stir to combine. (At this point, if you like crisp bits in your pulled pork, you can spread the shredded pork on a sheet pan and place under a broiler for a couple minutes then return to the slow cooker.) Taste and add more barbecue sauce, hot sauce, salt or pepper, if desired. Serve with soft rolls and extra sauce on the side.

Provided by Miriam Nice

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 8h10m

Number Of Ingredients 18

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder is the best cut for pulled pork because it is fatty and flavorful. It will also hold up well to the long cooking time.
  • Use a slow cooker: A slow cooker is the best way to make pulled pork because it allows the pork to cook slowly and evenly. This will result in tender, juicy pulled pork.
  • Add plenty of flavor: Pork shoulder can be a bit bland on its own, so it's important to add plenty of flavor. This can be done with a variety of spices, herbs, and sauces.
  • Don't overcook the pork: Pulled pork is best when it is cooked until it is tender and juicy, but not so long that it becomes dry. The best way to check if the pork is done is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the pork. The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork rest: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before shredding it. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the pork, resulting in more tender and flavorful pulled pork.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker Goan pulled pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It is perfect for a party or a casual meal. With its bold flavors and tender texture, this pulled pork is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe, give this one a try.
