OK, so I just had to follow up to let you know that I made the Tony Luke’s Italian Roast Pork (The Real Deal) recipe that I posted about in my Menu Plan Monday write up HERE. OMG – Let’s just say it was absolutely mouth-wateringly delicious! I used a center cut pork roast for the meat and used fresh herbs as called for in the recipe. I slow cooked it all day in the slow cooker and about 1 hour before serving, I shredded the meat with two forks, discarded any visible fat and mixed it well with the juices the pork had created while cooking. I served ours on light hamburger buns to cut back on calories. I topped the sandwiches with one thin slice of sharp provolone cheese and a heap of spinach. (I chose spinach as the broccoli rabe is a bit too bitter for my kids) My entire family devoured their meals and went back for more! This is a must try for all of you slow cooker fans like me – in fact this is my new favorite and definitely will be a regular part of our meal rotation! Stop back and let me know what you think if you decide to give it a try.
