Slow Cooked Pork

My recipe for slow cooked pork was born on a rainy day in late August when the weather felt fallish and crock pot ideas were simmering in my brain. I improvised this delicious brew for the pork to steep in and I must say my pork cooking instincts were dead-on. Enjoy this meal with the suggested Latin-inspired side dishes, or invent your own accompaniments.

Ingredients:

Shoulder cut pork roast

1 small onion, chopped

molasses

honey

apple cider vinegar

1 small can of tomato sauce

squirt of hot sauce

salt and cayenne pepper to taste

Suggested accompaniments: white rice, mini corn tortillas, fresh tomato salsa, corn on the cob.

Instructions:

Sear the pork in a pan with the chopped onions. Transfer to the crock pot and add a dollop of molasses, a generous squeeze of honey, a glug of apple cider vinegar, a small can of tomato sauce, a squirt of hot sauce, and some salt and cayenne pepper. Cook for 4 hours on high.

After the crock pot becomes a bubbling cauldron of sweet and tangy, falling-off-the-bone goodness that permeates your home with a hearty, drool-inducing aroma, cook up a side of white rice and warm some mini corn tortillas.

When I made this, I popped some pre-soaked, fresh corn on the cob into the oven, husks still on, for about 20 minutes and then we laid the whole presentation out on the table, picked up our forks and nearly lost our minds over the whole thing.

And that's the whole pork story.
