Crockpot/Slow Cooker Recipes

I thought we could have a separate thread, so we can share our favourite recipes. I did do a search but nothing came up, so apologies if there is one out there.

Ok here's my first one:

Roast Pork with Apple Sauce Gravy

Pork shoulder (about 1.5kg), boned and rolled
fresh rosemary, sage and thyme (optional)
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
2-3 dark soy sauce
2 or 3 apples
1 Tbsp brown sugar
arrowroot or potato starch to thicken.

Turn the slow cooker on HIGH and coat the bowl with non stick spray.

If the roast is in an elasticated net sleeve, remove it. If it has been tied with string, leave the string in place. If not tied several pieces of string around it so the roast remains rolled. For a slight herby flavour, push a sprig of rosemary, sage and/or thyme between the layers of pork, and have more sprigs to put under the roast as it cooks.

Measure the mustard, cumin and salt into a saucer or shallow bowl, then add enough dark soy sauce to mix it to a paste. Massage this over all surfaces of the pork, then place it in the slow cooker, on its side with the smooth side up.

Remove the cores of the apples wtih an apple corer, then halve the apples (or quarter the unpeeled apples and cut away their cores). Push the pieces of apple down between the pork and the sides of the cooker bowl. Put on the lid and cook on HIGH for 4-5 hour, pushing the apples down in to the pan juices after 3 hours. Take the lid off for a short time only during this operation, so you don't lose too much heat. Do not take the lid off again until the meat has cooked for at least four hours altogether. If you have a meat thermometer, check that the temperature in the centre of the meat is about 77c or 170f. If necessary, cook longer. Turn down to low and leave for an hour or two longer. If this suits you.

When nearly ready to serve, take out the meat, mash the apples in to the liquid, and add the brown sugar. Stir in about a tablespoon of arrowroot or potato starch, mixed to a thin paste with a little cool water. Season to taste, and leave for about 15minutes to thicken. Serve with mashed potato or kumara and broccoli or green beans.
