Slow Cooked Pork

4-5 lb. pork roast (any cut) (alternately can be used with any pork like ribs, chops, etc.)
2 medium onions, sliced
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
1 garlic clove, minced (alternately use ¼ tsp. dried garlic)
1 tsp. soy sauce
½ C. hot water
1 whole clove
2 small bay leaves (alternately 1 large bay leave)

*Brown pork in a large skillet; seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. In a small bowl combine salt, pepper, garlic, soy sauce, and water. Place 1 sliced onion in bottom of slow cooker. Add browned pork on top. Place remaining sliced onion, clove and bay leave(s) on top of pork. Pour liquid mixture over pork and cover. Cook on Low for 10 hours (alternately 5-6 hours on high).

*The pork does not necessarily have to be browned prior to placing in slow cooker.

For pork that melts in your mouth this recipe will not disappoint.


Sorry I am finally getting around to posting something. Since Mare asked I thought I would post something to do with pork. I have used this recipe for all different kinds of pork cuts. Last week I used it with ribs and it was delicious. I am usually too lazy to brown it first and it still comes out great. I sometimes double the liquid though. I hope if you try it you like it.
