Slow Cooker Pork Roast with Red Cabbage

Name: Slow Cooker Pork Roast with Red Cabbage
Ingredients: Pork Roast (just large enough to fit flat into the cooker).; 1-2 jars red cabbage; Salt & Pepper; ¼-½ cup Dry red wine, beef stock or water

Slow Cooker Pork Roast and Red Cabbage I just love my slow cooker not just for apple butter but for many great meals. Some take a little supervision and some like this recipe for pork roast & red cabbage are so simple just start it and forget it. The only chore is to check the cabbage to make sure the liquid doesn't all evaporate.

Directions

In a frying pan large enough to hold the roast, lightly oil the pan.
Season the fat side of the roast with salt & pepper and brown the roast fat side down in the pan.
In the slow cooker add the red cabbage and once the roast is browned place it on top of the red cabbage, cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours until an internal temperature of at least 145°.
Check occasionally to make sure the liquid in the red cabbage remains.
If it begins to get too dry add ¼ cup of dry red wine or beef stock or water.
Monitor the liquid throughout the cooking process.
Cooking a pork roast this way leaves it moist, tender and very flavorful, I think you'll love it.
To finish a great meal try this with glazed carrots cooked in the french style and rice and a stuffed tomato.
