Ingredients
- 4-5 pounds of pork roast (preferably shoulder or butt)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 onions, sliced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1-2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Begin by seasoning the pork roast generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Make sure to rub the spices evenly over the entire surface.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork roast on all sides until it is golden brown. This step adds depth of flavor to your dish.
- After searing, place the sliced onions and minced garlic in the bottom of your slow cooker. This will act as a flavorful base for the pork.
- Transfer the seared pork roast on top of the onions and garlic in the slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring that the roast is partially submerged.
- Spread the Dijon mustard over the top of the roast, and sprinkle thyme and rosemary evenly over it.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart.
- Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the cooked onions and a drizzle of the broth for added moisture.
