âSlow-cooked dishes are a favorite in our home, and this one is perfect for fall and winter evenings,â writes Sheree Shown from Junction City, Oregon. A pork roast cooks all afternoon with sweet onions, honey, soy sauce and ginger for fabulous flavor. âThe aroma fills the house with a scent that cries out, 'Welcome home!',â Sheree notes. Ingredients:
2 large onions, thinly sliced |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 boneless pork loin roast (3 pounds) |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
3 bay leaves |
1/4 cup hot water |
1/4 cup honey |
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce |
2 tablespoons rice vinegar |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/4 cup cold water |
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted |
hot cooked rice and sliced green onion tops, optional |
Directions:
1. Place onions in a 5-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, salt and pepper. Cut roast in half; rub with garlic mixture. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, brown pork in oil on all sides. Transfer to slow cooker; add bay leaves.
2. In a small bowl, combine hot water and honey; stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and cloves. Pour over pork. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until meat is tender.
3. Remove meat and onions from slow cooker; keep warm. Discard bay leaves. Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; gradually stir into slow cooker.
4. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes or until thickened, stirring twice. Slice pork; top with sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with rice and garnish with green onion tops if desired. Yield: 12 servings.
