What is better than walking in your door from working all day and your house smells like you've been cooking all day...
If you have a crock pot or (if you're old school) slow cooker - try this recipe out...
Apple Herb Encrusted Pork Roast
1 1/2 - 3lb Pork Loin/ roast
1 apple - any kind, cored & quartered
2 Tablespoons thyme
2 Tablespoons rosemary
2 Tablespoons basil ** (fresh if you have it)
2 Tablespoons sage
2 Bay Leaves
1/2 cup water
Rub both sides of roast with herbs. Add water to the crock - (should be enough to cover the bottom of the slow cooker - I think I used about 3/4 cup). Put roast in and add apples. Cook for 6-8 hours on low or 4-5 hours on high.
Tweaks for next time: I'll use 2 apples (they were yummy) and I think I'll use equal parts apple juice & water for an extra kick and I'll add some red potatoes. I had fresh sage on hand and it was wonderful so if you have fresh herbs use em. Our roast was on the smaller side and I over cooked a bit because I didnt't adjust my cooking time so pay attention to the size of your roast.
We had leftovers so we made BBQ Pulled Pork from the left over meat by adding our favorite Sweet Baby Ray's sauce.

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids.
ReplyDeleteI found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year
old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She
put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it
pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
