Heavenly Pork Loin image

We made this recently and it was so tender that we scooped pieces off with a spoon and ate it on crackers. It also makes a wonderful sandwich meat. My house mates suggested calling this "pork pate" but as it is not a pate I chose to name it otherwise.

Time 5h30m

Yield 1 pork loin

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pork loin, small enough to fit into your crock pot
2 quarts chicken stock
4 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 large white onion
herbs (I recommend basil and oregano)
salt and pepper (and Mrs. Dash if you have it)

Steps:

  • Cut onion into eights or 1/4 rings.
  • Trim off excess fat.
  • Coat loin in a heavy layer of salt pepper and Mrs. Dash.
  • Braise loin in oven until all sides are well browned.
  • Let cool until you can lift it without burning yourself.
  • Place loin in Crock pot.
  • Deglaze pan with 1/2 of stock.
  • Pour liquid over loin.
  • Add garlic and herbs.
  • Use enough of the remaining stock to cover the meat.
  • Turn crock pot to high and leave undisturbed for at least five hours, the longer the better.
  • Remove and cool.
  • Set aside the stock for another recipe.
