Recipe: Pork Roast with Fennel and Sage

[pointedview]

I am glad to have found this community. Like lawnrrd, I was something of a crock pot snob years ago, but not for some time, now. I cooked the following for the '99 New Year's Eve gala I had, and it was a big success.



Pork Roast with Fennel and Sage

Recipe By : Crockery Favorites
Serving Size : 6
Preparation Time :1:00

3 pounds pork loin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
2 fennel bulbs -- sliced crosswise
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup dry white wine

Have butcher cut through most of the bone to form individual chops. Trim off most of the fat. If necessary, tie roast to hold it together. Sprinkle top and sides with salt, pepper and fresh sage.

Place on rack in slow cooker; top with fennel. Cover and cook on Low for 7 to 8 hours. Remove roast and most of the fennel. Keep warm.

Turn slow cooker on High. Dissolve cornstarch in wine. Stir into drippings. Cover and cook on High 25 to 30 minutes or until thickened. Stir once or twice. To serve, cut into chops. Spoon fennel over pork; then sauce over all. Makes 5 or 6 servings.
