ROAST PORK AND VEGETABLES IN SLOW COOKER RECIPES

Steps:

• Place stock, potatoes, carrots, and turnip in a 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, stir together rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub pork with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Sprinkle pork all over with 2 tablespoons rosemary mixture, pressing to adhere. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add pork, and cook until well browned, about 10 minutes, turning once halfway through.
• Sprinkle vegetables in slow cooker with remaining rosemary mixture; add pork. Reduce heat to LOW, cover, and cook until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of pork registers 135°F and vegetables are tender, about 3 hours. Remove to a cutting board, and let stand 10 minutes (pork temperature will rise as it stands). Place vegetables on a platter. Cut pork into 1/2-inch-thick slices, and arrange over vegetables. Stir together parsley, zest, and garlic; sprinkle over pork. Serve with juices from slow cooker.

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.
