~ SWEET & SPICY PORK ROAST ~ SLOW COOKER



~ Sweet & Spicy Pork Roast ~ Slow Cooker image

My family really enjoyed the sweet and spicy flavor of this pork. So tender you could cut it with a fork. I served mine in slices with a side of macaroni and cheese and a vegetable. This would also be excellent in a sandwich. No matter how you serve it, it's delicious! I believe this would be great on chicken, also. Enjoy!

Time 8h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

RUB MIX
3/4 c brown sugar
2 Tbsp spicy montreal steak seasoning
1 Tbsp each - kosher salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder
1 tsp red pepper
PORK
3 1/2 - 4 lb pork roast - i used pork shoulder end roast - any pork roast would work
1 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse and dry pork. Rub with olive oil all over. Mix rub ingredients. I used half of the mix to cover my pork. You can halve the recipe if you like. I made enough to use for another day. Store in a jar with lid.
  • 2. Pat the rub evenly over the roast. Place in slow cooker and cover. I cooked mine for 8 hours on low and let set for another hour on warm, covered. Or, cook until desired tenderness. This could be done on a low temperature in your oven as well. I'm sure you could cook it on high for a couple hours, then low until good and tender.
  • 3. After carving, I ladled some juices from slow cooker, over the meat. Yum! Enjoy!

Categories     main-dish

Time 7h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (7- to 9-pound) bone-in pork butt with a layer of fat on top
6 garlic cloves
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, ribs removed, seeded, and chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup good olive oil
1 (750 ml) bottle dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Test your oven with an oven thermometer to be sure it's accurate!
  • Score the fat on the pork diagonally with a sharp knife in a crosshatch pattern. With a small paring knife, make a dozen 1/2-inch-deep cuts in the top and sides of the pork to allow the seasonings to permeate the meat.
  • Place the garlic, onion, jalapeno, and oregano in a food processor and process until the ingredients are finely chopped. Add the cumin, chile powder, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper and process for 30 seconds to make a paste. Add the vinegar and olive oil and process to incorporate. Rub the mixture all over the pork, including the sides and the bottom, and place the pork in a large roasting pan, fat side up. Pour 2 cups of the wine into the pan and cover the whole roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil. Roast for 2 1/2 hours, remove the foil, and roast for another 4 to 4 1/2 hours, until the meat is very, very tender when tested with a carving fork. Every 2 hours, add another cup of wine to keep some liquid in the pan.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, cover it tightly with aluminum foil, and allow the meat to rest for 15 to 30 minutes. Slice, sprinkle with salt, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
