Pork Roast in the Crock Pot

This wasn't a recipe for the crock pot, but I made it one because I had a busy day and wanted something for dinner I didn't have to mess with or watch. It turned out fantastic and leftovers were scrumptious.

My wonderful Crock Pot. I love it. I don't use it nearly enough though. Here is the recipe.

Pork Roast

In crock pot layer on the bottom, 3 garlic cloves

1 or 2 shallots

3 carrots

Rub pork roast with salt/pepper and Herbes de Provence

Put a little olive oil in a skillet and brown on all sides and put in crock pot on top of the veggies

Add 1/2 cup white wine or water or broth. I used the wine.

Cover and let cook on low for about 6 hours or so.

The last hour add 1/2 pound of cremini mushrooms. Or you could use the white button mushrooms.

I made roasted potatoes and fennel to go with the roast. I used a 400 degree oven. Chop the unpeeled potatoes in pieces, quarter the fennel, season everything with salt/pepper and olive oil. Toss and put in the oven. Cooking time varies on how big your veggie is and I usually start checking it after about 30 minutes or so.

All in all it was a very good meal with leftovers and with little or no help from me. Which on a busy day is a good thing.
