Here’s a tender, flavorful slow-cooked pork roast recipe that’s easy to prepare and melts in your mouth 🍖

- 3–4 lb (1.5–2 kg) pork shoulder or pork loin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- 1–2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the pork
- Pat the pork dry with paper towels

2. Sear for flavor (optional but recommended)
- Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat
- Brown the pork on all sides, 3–4 minutes per side
3. Slow-cook
- Place pork in a slow cooker
- Add garlic, onion, broth, and herbs

✨ Tips for extra flavor
