Slow Cooker Porchetta

I have heard of Porchetta for a while before trying it for the first time on January 1st, 2013. It was so good that day. A friend of mine gave me a recipe for it, but I never got a chance to make it. I finally looked up some recipes for the slow cooker and saw that they were basically very similar.

A few weeks ago, I decided to take the leap to try to make it in the slow cooker. As usual, I combined a few recipes, including the one that my friend gave to me. For a first time, I must say that it was simply amazing.

Out of all of my recipes that I have created, I must admit that this is my favorite dish. Dang, it is so good! It just melts in your mouth. The only drawback is that you have to sit around for 8 hours smelling those amazing aromas coming from your slow cooker.

You can either serve as an entree, in a sandwich, in macaroni & cheese, etc. If you want to brown it, then you can put it in the broiler for 5-10 minutes. I like it as is. You can also add some crushed red pepper for spice, but I did not add it because of my son. He is not into spices yet. #mycookbook
Enjoy!

    When it is all done, take the pork roast out and put it on a cutting board. Using two forks, pull apart the pork. It will be so tender, that this will be so easy.

Since I was a kid, I remember sitting in the kitchen to watch and/or help my parents. As I grew up, I decided to try their recipes and experiment with different recipes. Some were very good and I re-make them all of the time. Others? Yeah, I never tried them again. All of the recipes that I post are the very good ones.Also, while growing up, my pops suffered from high blood pressure, so my mom stopped adding sodium. Since that is how I was raised, all of the dishes that I post do not have any extra sodium added to it. A lot of friends and family who try my recipes, either do not notice nor miss it. But in no way am I saying not to add salt if you use my recipes. If you want to add it, then go for it.In closing, I hope that you enjoy my recipes. If you use any, then please post pictures. Enjoy!
