Introduction
A comforting and flavor-packed pork pot roast made in a slow cooker. The pork shoulder is seasoned, seared to lock in juices, and slow-cooked to fork-tender perfection alongside carrots and potatoes in a rich, savory apple-sweet chili gravy.
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, oregano, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Step 2
Generously season the pork shoulder on all sides with the spice mixture.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until a deep crust forms, then transfer it to the slow cooker.
Step 4
In the same pan, toss in the chopped carrots and baby potatoes. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes to caramelize. Transfer them to the slow cooker around the pork.
Step 5
Melt butter in the same pan over medium heat. Sauté the minced onion for about 2 minutes.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using a bone-in pork shoulder is recommended because the bone adds extra depth of flavor and tenderness to the meat, but boneless works too.
Searing the meat and sautéing the vegetables before slow cooking is highly recommended as it creates caramelized flavors that elevate the gravy.
Apple juice and sweet chili sauce pair beautifully with pork, giving the gravy a perfect balance of savory and sweet notes.
This dish can also be shredded and mixed with barbecue sauce to make pulled pork sandwiches.
