CROCK POT PORK LOIN ROAST WITH VEGETABLES RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Season pork all over with salt and pepper, then sear until golden all over, about 3 minutes per side.  Place red onions in bottom of Crock-Pot. Place seared pork loin on top of onions. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours or LOW for 6 hours, depending on the size of your pork loin. Make glaze: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk water, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and garlic until combined. Season with pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until syrupy, about 10 minutes. During the last hour of cooking, brush pork with glaze every 20 minutes. Slice and serve with roasted vegetables.

Steps:

• Liberally season all sides of the pork roast with salt and pepper. Select the Sauté button to heat up the Instant Pot inner pot.
• When the display reads “Hot,” add the butter to the pot. As soon as the butter melts, add the pork roast to the pot and sear it on all sides, approximately 4 minutes per side.
• Add the apple juice to the pot and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the onion. Press Cancel to turn off the Sauté function.
• Secure the lid, ensuring the valve is turned to the Sealing position. Press the Pressure Cook button and set the time to 20 minutes.
• When cooking is complete, let the pot sit for another 15 minutes, and then turn the valve to the Venting position to release any remaining pressure.
• Remove the lid and transfer the pork to a cutting board. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes, and then cut it into 3/4-inch slices. Top the pork roast with chutney and fresh pomegranate seeds, if using.
• Place all the ingredients in the Instant Pot inner pot and combine them with a good stir. Secure the lid, ensuring the valve is turned to the Sealing position. Press the Pressure Cook button and set the time to 10 minutes.
• When cooking is complete, turn the valve to the Venting position to release the pressure. Remove the lid, stir, and serve the chutney either hot or cold.
