Mediterranean Pork with Couscous (Slow Cooker)



This is one of my favorite pork recipes and it's in the crock pot, even better! I usually keep pork roasts in the freezer and this is an easy one and so flavorful. I sometimes put the meat in frozen and it works great. And I love couscous! Kids love this. From Mel's Kitchen Cafe.

 Mediterranean Pork with Couscous:


Ingredients
  • 2 to 2 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin, trimmed of fat (or the equivalent of boneless pork chops)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 1-2 cups couscous, prepared according to package directions
Directions
  1. In a liquid measuring cup combine the oil, broth and spices. Cut small slits with a paring knife into the pork roast (or pork chops). Place the pork in a 4-quart slow cooker and pour the broth/spice mixture over the top of the pork. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours until the pork is tender.
  2. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred into pieces. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and toss with the juices/liquid. Serve the meat/juices over couscous.
