Garlic Pork Roast and Sweet Potatoes In the Crockpot
As with all older tried and true crockpot recipes, you have to know your own particular crockpot. I have found that the newer crockpots, on average less than five years old, have had their low and high cooking temperatures raised. If you have a crockpot that cooks hot, check for doneness about 1/2 way to 2/3's of the way through the stated cooking time. 3 1/2 lb pork boneless loin roast 1 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 3 cups (1-inch) pieces peeled sweet potatoes 1 medium onion, sliced 6 cloves garlic, peeled 1 cup chicken broth Remove fat from pork. Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Cook pork in oil about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides. Place sweet potatoes, onion and garlic in 3 1/2- to 6 quart slow cooker. Place pork on vegetables. Use small amount of the chicken broth to deglaze skillet. Pour drippings and remaining broth over pork. Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 10 hours or until pork and vegetables are tender. 6 servings. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
