Slow Cooker Cheater Pork Stew

Pork, Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooked

Ingredients

2 small onions thinly sliced

6 garlic cloves peeled and smashed

½ pound baby carrots

Diamond Crystal kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

3 pounds pork shoulder cut into 1.5 inch cubes or a 4 pound bone-in pork shoulder roast

1 tablespoon Sunny Paris seasoning or your favorite seasoning blend

1 tablespoon Red Boat fish sauce

1 small cabbage cut into 8 wedges

1 cup Marinara sauce or any other Paleo-friendly marinara sauce

1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar

¼ cup finely chopped Italian parsley optional

Directions

Slice up the onions and smash the garlic cloves. Add them with the carrots to the slow cooker liner, and season liberally with salt and pepper.

Cube the pork and toss with Sunny Paris seasoning and fish sauce. (No Sunny Paris? No problem. Just use an herb blend you like.) Add another sprinkle of salt and pepper and toss to combine.

Pile the seasoned pork on top of the onions and carrots, and tuck the cabbage wedges on top. Drizzle on the marinara sauce and some more salt and pepper.

Pressure Cooker
Add another cup of broth, or other liquid. Cook for 35 minutes on High pressure, then let the pressure naturally release.

Slow Cooker
Put on the lid and cook on low for 8-10 hours.

When the pork and veggies are fork-tender, adjust the stew for seasoning with balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Top the stew with fresh Italian parsley.
