Garlic Herb Roast of Pork | Slow Cooker Roast Pork

If you are anything like me, when on vacation I love to have a look around the kitchen gadget shops... years ago, I stumbled across one of my favorite gadgets - the humble Fat Separator I use this little strainer jug to make gravy for all my slow cooker roast meals - when you can so easily remove the fat from the cooking liquid, why wouldn't you!

Seasoned, well flavored roasted pork is so delicious and easy - it seems such a shame to not serve it this way occasionally.  Especially when it even almost makes it's own tasty gravy.
Slow cooker roast pork is always so soft and tender too - love it done this way!


Garlic Herb Roast of Pork | Slow Cooker Roast Pork

1 Tbsp Lemon Herb Seasoning
(or replace Lemon Herb Seasoning with 1 Tsp each of Salt, Thyme, grated lemon peel; 1/2 Tsp Sage,  1/4 Tsp Ground cloves)

4-5 Lbs Pork roast, boneless or bone-in (same shape as slow cooker)
4 Large cloves garlic, quartered

To thicken juices to make a gravy
2 Tbsp Water, optional
2 Tbsp Cornstarch, optional

  • Spray the pork roast lightly with oil and rub Lemon Herb Seasoning into roast. Make 16 tiny cuts in the roast and insert garlic pieces.
  • Place roast in slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours. 
  • To ensure meat is cooked to perfection, insert meat thermometer into roast, internal temperature needs to be 170°F/77°C or higher before serving. 
  • Remove garlic pieces and allow roast to rest 10-15 minutes before carving.
  • Strained juices may be thickened for gravy, if desired. Dissolve 2 tablespoons cornstarch in 2 tablespoons water. Stir slowly into juices until thickened in a saucepan on the stove.
Makes 8 servings.
