Time 6h30m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2-1 teaspoon whole cloves
4 lbs pork loin, bone-in rib end
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 medium onions, chopped fine or sliced
1 teaspoon cumin or 1 teaspoon caraway seed
2 cups chicken stock (or 1 c stock & 1 c white wine)
1 (5 1/2 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced (optional)

Steps:

  • Stick cloves into pork, sprinkle with pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat half the oil on medium -high and brown pork on all sides (10 mins).
  • Move pork to the crock-pot. Pour off fat in pan.
  • ONION GRAVY; heat the rest of the oil in the skillet, saute onions and cumin seeds until golden.
  • Add stock, (wine), tomato paste, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves and salt. Mix thoroughly, and bring to a boil. Scrape into crock pot.
  • Cook on low until pork is tender - about 6 hours.
  • Transfer pork to a plate, tent with foil.
  • Skim off any fat from the gravy. Whisk cornstarch with water and stir into gravy. Increase heat to high and cook, covered until thickened, about 15 minutes.

  • Serve pork with gravy. Goes great with mashed potatoes!
