Pork Pot Roast INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons olive oil 4-1/2 pound pork butt roast, or similar cut Salt and pepper to taste 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon rubbed sage Water as needed 6 small potatoes, cleaned (peeling is not necessary) 2 medium onions, quartered 4 medium carrots, cleaned and cut into 3-inch pieces 6 large garlic cloves, peeled 8 ounces button mushrooms, halved if very large Additional salt, pepper, thyme and sage 1/2 cup dry red wine 1/2 cup water 2 tablespoons flour and enough water to make a paste to thicken gravy Heat a large sauté pan or pot over medium-high heat. Rub the roast on all sides with the 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon sage, salt and pepper. Add the oil to the pan and heat. Add the roast, fat side down and brown well on all sides. Add a little water. Reduce heat to medium, Cover and braise about 1 hour, turning occasionally. Add some water if needed or, if too much moisture accumulates for the roast to sizzle between turns, lift the lid so it can evaporate. After the hour, add the vegetables, garlic, mushrooms and additional seasonings to taste. Continue to braise as before, adding liquid or evaporating excess, turning everything now and then, until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Remove pork and vegetables to a platter and place in a warm oven. To make the gravy, turn heat to medium-high. Add the wine and 1/2 cup water to pot. (If more gravy is desired, just add more water.) Bring to boil, scraping any brown bits from bottom. Reduce slightly. While still boiling, add smooth flour paste to water gradually, stirring or whisking vigorously after each addition to prevent lumps. Add enough paste to reach desired thickness. Taste for seasoning. Slice the roast. Serve meat and vegetables, passing the gravy separately.

Crockpot "Q" Pork This cooks for 10-12 hours so plan accordingly! 2 onions, quartered 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon paprika 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1 4-6 pound boneless pork butt, shoulder roast or loin (which is leaner) 3/4 cup cider vinegar 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or salt 1/4 teaspoon cayenne Place onions in crockpot. Combine brown sugar, paprika, salt/pepper and rub over the roast. Place roast on top of onions. Combine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, sugar, mustard, garlic salt and cayenne; stir well to mix. Drizzle about 1/3 of the vinegar mixture over roast. Cover and refrigerate remaining vinegar mix. Cover crockpot and cook of LOW 10-12 hours. Abour 1 hour before it's done, add about 1/2 the remaining vinegar mixture to crockpot (you may want to warm it up first so you're not putting cold liquid in, which would slow down the cooking) Continue cooking until meat is falling apart. Remove meat from crockpot and shred with fork. Return to crockpot to continue heating until you're ready to serve. Serve on buns with coleslaw on top of the meat. Pass remaining vinegar sauce. I usually make extra sauce while the pork is cooking. This recipe is basically so easy! And typing it out has me hungry for "Q"! from CANADIAN SHE -WOLF |
