Cook Time:
3 hr 0 min
Level:
Easy
Serves:
about 4 servings
Ingredients
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 2 1/2 to 3 pound boneless pork loin, tied at 1/2-inch intervals
* 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
* 1 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
* 1 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
* 1 cup chicken stock
* 1 1/2 cups small diced parsnips
* 1 1/2 cups small diced turnips
* 1/2 cup applesauce
* 1/2 cup light brown sugar
* 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
* 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
* 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
Directions
Set a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Season the pork with 2 teaspoons of the salt, the Essence and 1 teaspoon of the black pepper. Sear the pork in the hot pan for 2 minutes on each of the four sides, and on the two ends as well. Place the pork in a slow cooker and add the chicken stock to the pot. Lay the parsnips and turnips around the pork, salt them with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and place the lid over the crock pot. Turn the heat up to high and cook the roast for 3 hours.
While the roast is cooking, combine the applesauce, sugar, vinegar, sage, rosemary and ginger in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir. Cook until the applesauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. After the roast has cooked for 3 hours, pour the glaze over the top and replace the lid. Continue to cook for 1 hour longer, until very tender. Serve with the pan juices.
